Fistful of Beans

What’s it all About?

Hi! I’m Ryan. I’m a passionate hobbyist in the miniature-painting space, particularly when painting models based around the fantastical and grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop.

I first entered the hobby at the beginning of the great 2021 fustercluck and haven’t been able to put down my brushes or my dice since. Though let it be known that I feel a seedling of the hobby was always there. I remember visiting the Games Workshop store on Southend High-Street when my age was in single digits and, while I had no idea what was going on, I did take an interest that stuck with me to a degree that was only amplified when I took up the brush myself.

While I look back at my first attempts at painting and cringe, I’ve evidently improved enough to the point where people are willing to pay for my abilities. I like to extend the pride I feel from that into the work I do for my clients as a commission model-painter.

I also like to use my online presence, and various social media platforms, to produce video and documentation content that showcases my work, while aiming to be entertaining and somewhat-educational when I can.

Feel free to take a look around!

  • "Ryan is great to work with, has honest and well-thought advice about schemes and what clients are looking for, with no motive besides getting the best results. Different grades of painting offer flexibility of budget while providing a simply excellent standard of work. Couldn't recommend enough!"
