"Well, many of you know that I'm not shy about poking my oar into discussions about minis, paint or *gasp* real life stuff. But one thing I keep "meaning to getting around to" is a series of articles on how I might prepare, build and paint my own models, plus some of the thought processes on how I might prepare myself for these pieces too. To that end I have been asked to produce an article specifically about the Kingdom Death Architect Pinup.
I have always loved the distinction between the Pinups and the *proper* KD characters, and the wonderfully strong accompanying artwork from Lokman Lam. Normally for any piece that I paint I will do a bit of storyboarding, which usually involves a little collage of images from books, Google searches, or in this case Lokman's original image. This pre-preparation gives me a feel for the colours that I might choose, any special textures and any designs that I might use for freehand painting later on.
Typically, right at the beginning, I will select what I plan on using as a plinth, decide what kind of base I will set the model(s) in and start test fitting everything. This I shall cover another time though, because the brief for this model is to build and paint it exactly as the kit comes, and as close as possible to the concept art…"

wonders why create different 3D models, if you can create one that can be customized?
