Marco Frisoni / Not Just Mecha

Heads up and a Little Gift!

Hello guys!

In the last months I've been working and experimenting even more than usual with oils, soooo I've invested in a proper drying box!!!
About drying boxes and their benefits (protection from dust, speeding up the exsiccation, matting effect), if you have been here for a while you probably remember this video, that soon after I turned to Unlisted because I was embarrassed by my own craftsmanship, lol (it's still hidden and of course dated, so be gentle lololol) --> 2025-11-17 18:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post

REAL TIME is back!!!

Did you miss these?!? 😉
I certainly missed working on them!!!
Feel free to ask question, or if you have any doubts, ask for extra details;
as always the theory is all in the YT video, this is just "execution", but we are all at different points of our painting journey and with the crazy average level of this community I definitely started to give a few things for granted 😅
Enjoy!

The Countdown Is On!

Sorry for keeping you waiting 😘
4 hours, no gimmicks, a classic art driven workflow and a lot of fun!
+ TMM & NMM on the same model?!?
See you at the premiere😊 !!! Drop a LIKE and share it with the world 😁

NEW VIDEO TOMORROW!!!

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO coming tomorrow!!! 4 hours, no gimmicks, and a bunch of fun 😉
I'm back baby 😁

Stay tuned▶️ https://www.youtube.com/MarcoFrisoniNJM/videos

The mini is done so... NEW VIDEO NEXT WEEK!!!

Ready for the NEW SEASON 😁😉😁?
(Teasing with the low resolution 😜)
Man, I really missed having proper, uninterrupted, quality painting time!

Working on Variety!

So you can't say I never do mechs 😁!
Plus... I couldn't skip a restyling of the classic Dom... 😉😋😉
The idea is to paint it like a big miniature in the painterly, cinematic style of the boxart 😉

Back to the Studio!!!

Officially back to the painting table after an amazing SMC and another super instructive round of judging 😁!

I'm so happy to have met so many of you guys in Eindhoven!
I know that the competition system can be intimidating, a rollercoaster of emotions and quite stressful at the beginning (we need to talk more openly and in depth about this aspect... Let me elaborate on how to do it properly...), but I'm super happy to see a bunch of new painters engaging with the real life painti...

See You There!!!

On my way to Eindhoven for SMC!!!

I have the honour to judge again the "Under 40mm" category: come to say hi and ask for feedback! I'll be around the models the whole time 😁!

After this, I'll be back to regular painting and making videos, I promise 😁😊😁; this is the last (disruptive 😅) trip of the year and I actually did quite a lot of work in the short time between the return from LVO and this weekend 😋...

See you there!!! 😘

Live from Vegas!!!

I'm finalising the preparation for Vegas, and since the next few days we'll probably (for sure😅) be a crazy mess, I thought to drop this here in advance!

GW asked me to paint live during their Twitch stream at LVO 😁, so
Sunday 5th, 16:30-19:30 Las Vegas time (GMT-7)
you'll find me on the official Warhammer Twitch! -> https://www.twitch.tv/warhammer
Come to say HI!!! 😘

And if you are p...

What I'm Up To 😁

HELLO GUYS!!!

How are you?!? 😁 
Super sorry for the recent lack of updates!!!
I'm officially back from another long trip to the US for the amazing NOVAOpen, ready to tackle the autumn and to close and recontextualise for you this crazy crazy summer!

Long story short... We are preparing to move to Australia 😅
and the irregular posting rhythm of these last few months is mostly due to the extra toll of energy, focus and trips needed to finalise this big life p...

As we were talking yesterday on stream, I checked and definided the YT calendar for December to work around GW embargos (wink wink wink), the December's Workshop in Hamburg, festivities, having the kid at home from school...

Instead of doing 5/12 - 19/12 - 2/1
we are going to do 12/12 - 26/12 - 9/1 ... and so on.
Same number of videos in the same months, just moved up one week!
