Hi!
On June 27th and 28th I was invited by La Compagnie des Trolls (a local miniature and scale modeling club) to make an airbrush and weathering class in Antibes.
I've demonstrated a lot of weathering techniques and the participants could practice on a kit from Dust Studio and the class was again sponsored by Ammo of Mig Jimenez.
As usual it was a nice moment, meeting great and interesting people. Most of the time most of the modelers who attend my class come from miniature painting or Sci-fi modeling but this time they were automotive and motorcycle scale modelers, they're building and detailing cars and motos very finely and they paint awesomely clean models with a perfect mastering of decal laying.
Here are a few pictures, you can find the full gallery here and the article (in french) by La Compagnie des Trolls.

Salut !
Les 27 et 28 juin dernier j'étais invité à Antibes par La Compagnie des Trolls (le club local) pour animer un stage de peinture à l'aérographe et weathering.
J'ai montré de nombreuses techniques que les stagiaires ont pu pratiquer sur un kit de Dust Studio et le stage était une nouvelle fois sponsorisé par Ammo of Mig Jimenez.
Comme d'habitude j'ai passé un très bon moment, plein de belles rencontres. La plupart du temps les participants à mes stages viennent de la peinture de figurines ou du modélisme SF mais cette fois-ci ils étaient en majorité des spécialiste des maquettes automobiles et motos, et il construisent des maquettes très détaillées se rapprochant le plus possible de la réalité et ils font des peintures extrêmement soignées avec une grande maîtrise dans la pose des décals.
Voici quelques photos, vous trouverez la galerie complète ici et l'article de La Compagnie des Trolls.
Yes, I use the same Rhino on all my weathering class! :)
Oui, c'est toujours le même Rhino à chaque stage de weathering ! :)
To conclude I'd like to talk about the FiMaJe, it's a wonderful event made by La Compagnie des Trolls in late November.
There's a miniature painting competition, miniatures, tabletop games, scale models and a huge meeting of miniatures sculptors and of course a lot of fun and a very good ambiance.
All the informations you need are here, on the FiMaJe home page.
