Welcome to the Studio!

Welcome. You've just found a little gem in the world of miniature painting. Or maybe I should say a laboratory that cranks out gorgeous gems and nuggets of miniature goodness. Prepare to be blown away by our formulas and theories on how a minuture painting service should work. Let's begin our tour, or adventure, through the lab. But remember, keep on the marked line and don't touch any buttons!

What is GMM?

Grey Matter Musings is the brainchild of a miniature painter of ten years, who has won several painting awards and has whose work has been featured on the Games Workshop website. It was started mainly as a side project, and has evolved into a full blown, full service business that has been making busy gamers' dreams come true for over a year. We've succesfully found our place in the miniature painting world; a hidden corner where the miniatures are very high quality, the prices are tabletop standard, and the communication is fast and friendly.

Why GMM?

We really believe that we are one of a kind in that we offer gallery quality minis for the same price that others charge for a basecoat and ink or "glaze". We don't just dunk your minis in a few different beakers of solution and call it a day. We painstakingly paint our minis to a standard that is hard to find and afford in today's world. We do it because we love it. Why should a select few get the very best? We think everyone deserves it.

Before now, only a handful of people had access to well painted armies: the very rich, and the very talented. If you don't have the ability or time to paint, you had to pay thousands to get a well painted army. That's the end of that.

With us you also get very good communication. We keep in touch throughout the whole process, and many of our clients have become good friends. You know you have something good going when clients come to you not only for painting, but for gaming advice and chat.

What Other People Are Saying About GMM Studios:

"The actual models exceeded the photos and far exceeded my hopes.  You are an amazing painter.  I would have spent a year painting that many models and they wouldn’t look half as good.  As a matter of fact I can field 11 fully painted armies between 40K and fantasy (3 of which are professionally painted) and nothing is even in the same league as this army.

I am going to keep your business cards in my army case and every time someone admires the models I will hand them one. 

I thought a while on trying to get a quote for you that you would find appealing enough to put on your website and this is the best I can do.  “Brandon is the Michelangelo of miniature painting and playing a game with models he painted is a surreal experience.  His models belong in a museum but are very much appreciated on a table top.

Thanks again for taking the commission."
     - A. Lombardi

"I just got the army in the mail....INSANE! Your photgraphs do NOT do them justice. I am very glad I went with your service, and yes please put this on your site."
     - A. Richardson

"I've used Brandon's services in the past, and he was always very friendly and reliable. I had no complaints with the quality of his work.”
     - S. Loftus

“He was great to work with, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out.”                                                                                                        
     - A. Barton

 “He was helpful and made sure it came out so I was happy.  Hes a good guy and I recommend working with him.”
     - E. McDonald

 “I’m glad I chose to work with him.  Everything was on time and he always went out of his way to get something done or to make me happy.  He really cares about other people and has a very good work ethic.”
    - R. Evans

“I Just got the Lylyth and seraph in the mail. They look so great.  Thanks a lot for the great paint!”
     -N. Sherwood

“I have nothing but good things to say about Brandon and his painting. I know him personally and can vouch for his good character. Of the painting services I've seen, his seems to be among the highest quality per dollar. He painted up the Malekith on a Black Dragon for me. I typically avoid fielding other people's paint jobs, but I figured I'd never field let alone paint the dragon. So, Brandon painted the Dragon in return for some minis. In other words, as a personal favor, The job he did on the Dragon exceeded the dollar value of the minis by far. I gave him total creative freedom and I was greatly impressed by the final product. The Dragon was done beautifully and whereas before I just wanted him painted up to decorate a shelf... I'm tempted to run the thing now! If you're going to have your models painted professionally, I highly recommend GMM. The turn around is quick and the product is gorgeous.”
     - J. Kinser

“This ia AMAZING!! Best M models I have every seen. Beyond cool. I'm very happy.”
     -J. Musacchia

 “The khador look awesome and now I can finally play with a fully painted warmachine army. Your the best! ”

"The work put out by GMM is spot on, on par with any other big name professional studio out there! His first ever Forge World Model, my Eldar Avatar, Is truly a sight to behold. In my area we  have a few professional artists and painters, one of which was formerly employed by Games Workshop, and they all agree that Brandon is truly a master of his craft. His technique had them scratching their heads wondering how he pulled off such and intericate and amazing job. After I divulged what he had told me, they all nodded in approving amazement. GMM is wonderful to work with and even in the 9th inning are able to make changes and add details and ship out a superb product.  This is said a lot about artists but, the pictures do not do this model or GMM justice. I am happy to say that I have other projects in the works and will be sending them to GMM to have them painted."
     -J. Hammack

"GMM did a superb job on my Warriors of Rohan for the Lord of the Rings game, and at a very reasonable price. Value and quality both! I highly recommend GMM."

 Hi Brandon,
I'd just like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for all your work on the Eldar Army which arrived safe and sound in the post this morning. The paint job was excellent; particularly the Harlequins and the Banshees, and the army as a whole looks beautiful on the tabletop. A real masterpeice. From start to finish you've been a genuinely nice guy, very helpful and sincere, and if I ever need any other work done you are the only person I would ever consider letting near my minis. Speaking of which there are a few Death Guard here I'd be happy to make your acquaintance!

 I wish you and your family a healthy and prosperous 2009. Have a good one and take care of yourself, though I suspect I'll be sending more metal your way in the forseeable future!

"Im stuck at work and have been constantly refreshing your web
page (Military computer, no yahoo) hoping you would have your update
today. When I saw that it was loaded and got to take a look at my prince
I was at a loss for words. I still cant think of the words to describe
how amazing the mini looks. Damn good job man. Wish you were closer so
could buy you a beer."
     -D. Mathys

"I got them and they are amazing! They are better than the pictures. I had to go and by a new army transport case to make sure that they are safe and secure. I can't wait for the opportunity to show them off and play with them. With luck the good paint job will translate to good kill totals :)

Thanks for the superb job,"
     -T.Rossiter

"Brandon, just recieved the army and it is beyond measure everything I asked for. I forsee passing out a lot of these cards."
     - M. Collier

"You're right the photos don't do these miniatures any justice.  They look amazing.  I hope the next batch during the fall will go just as well."
     -K. Cheng

"I'd just like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for all your work on the Eldar Army which arrived safe and sound in the post this morning. The care in the packaging was first class and there were surprisingly few loose bits considering it's a few thousand rough miles to travel. The paint job was excellent; particularly the Harlequins and the Banshees, and the army as a whole looks beautiful on the tabletop. A real masterpeice. From start to finish you've been a genuinely nice guy, very helpful and sincere, and if I ever need any other work done you are the only person I would ever consider letting near my minis.

"Thank you for the fast service.  I'm really looking forward to receiving them.  I am glad that I discovered your site.  I've been painting and playing for nearly 20 years now, but it is difficult to find time to paint anymore due to work, and your quality is high and prices are more than reasonable.  Thank you again...
...Hello Brandon,

Just received the army in the mail, and everything looks great!  Thank you again,"
