North Star Online Magazine

Post by Nicknorthstar » Fri Sep 14, 2012 7:36 pm

We were recently joined at North Star by Mr Kev Dallimore, well known figure painter. He's got a number of projects to work on with us, but the main one was to start a North Star online magazine. The idea was to present a magazine that was dedicated to painting and modelling all the figure ranges we sell through the website.

I'm very happy to say the online magazine is now live and can be viewed here

http://nstarmagazine.com/

It's early days, and there will be lots more articles about our 1672 range. Right now we have an overview article about painting Restoration period British.

Hope you like it.

Nick

Very nice - and my other favourite period also - 1866!

One of these days my Austrians are going to give those pesky Prussians a damned good thrashing :roll:

Very nice stuff there, Nick!

One of these days with the help of my Saxons! :wink: :D


Nick,
That is is real great!
My hope is that you do something with the 1866 range and give birth to Saxons too!

Best Wishes,
Günter

Painting a whole army for one battle, is it worth it? :wink:
At least they won the battle I suppose which makes a difference.

Saxons would be great as my mate is keen to do them and would save me having to provide all the troops for both sides and concentrate on getting more Austrians done although Italian opposition would be good.
