My goal with this blog has been to post no less than once per calendar and month, and for the first time since I started it I failed by missing April. The good news is I'm back! This time I bring you Grenadier's Ruster Beast from their
Monster Manuscript line (Vol.IX.)
I think this is one of the better Rust Monster minis out there and I enjoyed painting this little bugger. I really like the texturing that the sculptor, John Dennett, put on this mini. The rocks in particular have an excellent rock-like texture. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with how I painted the eyes but I was going for some contrast.
I have a couple of small robots on my painting table now, and from the "Other Oddities" department, I went big on backing the
Low Life Miniatures Kickstarter even though I have never played the RPG. The minis are just so gonzo that I had to get some. I just got the first wave in the mail, so expect to see those soon as well.

Andy Hopp, the creator of Low Life has a current kickstarter going for a new addition of the Low Life game that I should probably mention as well:
