So as some of you from the old board will know, my other hobby is model horse collecting and customising. A big part of that is repainting models, and last year, inspired by NaMoWriMo (national novel writing month) a hobbyist came up with 'National Model Painting Month' or NaMoPaiMo in an attempt to encourage more people to paint. It was incredibly popular, with hundreds of people signing up, and this year it was even bigger! I signed up again, but wanted to have a little fun linking two of my hobbies, so I asked if Max could join in and everyone was immediately and overwhelmingly interested, even going so far as to actually ask me to physically sign her up like everyone else! Laughing

I didn't just intend to photograph her with a paintbrush in hand though, no, I had far more planned, and over the course of the month I put together a series of stopmotions all of which I eventually condensed into one video as the 60 second limit on instagram is ridiculously limiting.



I've done several other stopmotions which I'll post about elsewhere and have many plans for more, though alas my mini tripod broke a few weeks ago so that's put anything else on hold until I can get a replacement.

I spent a frankly ridiculous amount of time sourcing good photos of Dremel boxes so I could recreate my own one in miniature, and tbh hardly anyone will have noticed. XD

Everyone really loved seeing her progress, and a sculptor friend sent me one of her micro mini resins to 'add to Max's collection' which was really unexpected and kind of her so I did another wee vid of Max receiving her gift!

After all of that I barely had enough time to finish my own model, another micro mini in one of the most complicated horse colours that exists.

Apparently I'm a glutton for punishment as I'd no sooner finished that one than I dug out one of the smallest models in my collection and painted that too! XD

One of the biggest things about NMPM was that it wasn't a competition, it was more like a community event where everyone was considered a winner just for taking part, but people donated prizes and things that were given out either at random, or to specific people if they'd, say, posted lots of tutorials or helped people out. I wasn't expecting anything but was told fairly early on that I'd be getting something as everyone was getting a huge kick out of Max's shenanigans, and about a month after the event ended, I got a big box from the US containing two ponies, one for me and another for Max!  Shocked  Laughing

http://lastalliancestudios.blogspot.com/2018/03/namopaimo-prizes.html

I ended up getting yet ANOTHER mini resin prize a month after that too, as the sculptor of the rearing pony I painted had been running a contest during NMPM for anyone who painted one of her models and I won in the category for the best work on an older sculpture, so all in all, February has turned out to be a pretty rewarding month! Very Happy

The video is phenomenal, Christine! Quirky, fun, instructional, and to the point. And it (as well as the photo) showcases the beautiful work you have done assembling and/or customizing all these wonderful tiny renditions of 1:1 things in 1:6 scale. I, for one, loved the miniaturized Dremel box and instructions and everything. Reminds me of the research I do when I try to recreate actual journal/magazine covers, etc., but you have obviously taken this to another level.

Heh, I kinda went overboard with one of the books too - my friend Lesli is one of *the* most knowledgable people on the subject of equine colour genetics, and has written several books on the subject. I allowed her use of some of my photographs for illustrative purposes and got copies as a thank you, so I asked if I could scan a few pages and make a mini version and she agreed. It's literally only shown for a handful of seconds but it's all in the right order and mostly legible! (albeit with considerably fewer pages than the real deal)

Wow! Just — WOW! He amount of work you put into this is phenomenal. Really love all the stop-motion videos. And congratulations on the awards; very well deserved. The depth you put into all your diorama work is amazing. The Dremel, and the Equine book are pretty cool. I don’t know what else I can say... there’s just so much to look at and enjoy.

Cheers all! :3

I made everything on my phone, so whenever I wanted a change in facial expression I had to add it manually for each frame using a mixture of editing apps. For the most part I used ‘Photoshop Fix’ for adding eyelids and warping the mouth into a frown or smile, but the toothy grin was from the old fave ‘faceapp’

I’ve been experimenting with my fantasy figures too, but I’m struggling to find any free apps that will let me add fx to a finished video so right now I’m having to do the same here, add fire effects and things frame by frame which is incredibly tedious. -.-

That's a pretty cool fire effect in that video, Christine. And I like your sorceress, she looks great.

Holy crap! That stopmotion video is awesome!!! Con't even imagine all the time that went into it. And I seriously love the Dremel box. It's those kind of details that really make a build. So impressive.

As a horse lover, model horse enthusiast, owner of two hyperactive and destructive wolfdogs, and (more recently) a 1/6 customizer, this video ticks pretty much all of my boxes and is relatable on so many levels.  

*bows down*

Simply AH-MAZING.

A-MA-ZING! I'll need a few minutes to get my jaw back in place... So many amzing miniatures and props, it's phenomenal, I really love the attention put in every little detail...
And the stopmotion work, I'm already in awe when I see a 3 secs loop, but your short movies are close to profesionnal level!!! Fantastic work (your two videos made my day!)

Again bravo, and special mention to those daily life moments you capture so well, it feels very real, and therefore very emotional Smile

Actually, I did notice the dremel box, and thought, she isn't going to have a tiny dremel?! I loved your Christmas stop motion as well, absolutely fantastic! You have amazing talent. Not just in making props, not just in filming, but in story telling. Bravo!

Awww thanks guys! <3

NaMoPaiMo is coming up again, but as I’m painting a much larger model this time I’m not sure if I’ll have time to do another full length stopmotion for Max, though I’m sure she’ll get to paint something!

Aww, can't wait to see!

And lol, maybe Max can help you paint the 'giant' horse....
