The only problem that I have come accross is that detol disolves any greenstuff on the figure which turns to a black/green mush. Yuck!

Congrats to Astonia, Tommie and Peteh.

Uber, is there any chance of posting the lesser painters scores or proving comments so I (/we) can learn from the competition and maybe get higher scores...

Got to love those battlefront figures. BTW isn\'t it time battlefront was listed as a manufactorer, there are a few of their figures on CMON.

recieving my bronze demon was one of the proudest days of my life. It spent 6 months at the local store and now has pride of place in my display cabinet.

You know the amount of works that you put...

I\'ll add my endorsement to this Video, it is very good with few nice tips. Not sure I can have my house rebuilt to follow the recommendations though!

Also good to see a fellow brushlicker.

I asked about the subscription service and was told...

\"Thanks for your interest, however since the subsription service is causing a lot of problems for our back-end programmers we have decided...

Nice neat job and looks like fun to paint. The colours could do with a little more depth, these will improve the look of your painting no end.

Good luck and enjoy.

Gentle gents, gentle.

Remember we all have different sensitivity levels. What might be good harted banter to one may be cruel and hartless critism to another.

Uberdark, thanks for the advice. I have produced a better (?) votey page and will remove the old one...

Revised votey page thingy

Great start on the figures. Remember with dark dress / pants the flesh will look a little lighter.

everything looks great with the exception of the black lines around the hair and between the fingers. These distract far too much and must be knocking you 1 to 1 1/2 points IMHO.

Otherwise great,...

That deep thoughtfull image that you are going for, just makes you appear ignorant. Give it up and have some fun.

Love, love, love the sculpt \"Massoud l’afghan\".

Would pay good money for a chance to paint that.... :cool:

i would honestly resubmit with this picture. you have a better idea of the composition of the piece. just something to consider :) [/quote]

I assumed that by including this picture on this...

extra shot if you want it.

Here is my entry, this little chap is pictured \"making sure\" after the battle has ended.

I entered the competition to paint...

Jike, Very nice, I especially like the text work on the scrolls and the bottom of the cape. Not sure I can cope with this level of entry.

Love the concept of the wraithlord.

Can I \"borrow\" the idea for some of my figures?

For the first time in my life I was actually going to hit a deadline. Oh well, as babylonia says, time to redo the base.....

With only 21 days (and counting) to finish this you must be one hell of a one-man-kit-bashing-machine to turn a diorama around in this time. Still good question, are there any limitations on base...

I\'m in if you will have me.

The face and the shirt both look absolutely gorgeous and my hearty congratulations on these.The remainder of the figure does not come accross as quite on the same par, but this may mostly be...

Very, very nice. Especially given that it was a first go at NMM. The sword needs a bit of reworking to improve the highlights, but it is difficult with such a large blade.

Time to try on a new...

Orcs and Gobbos are unpredictable and great fun, plus they have the widest range of units within their army. So you can paint lots of different types of mini\'s. Dwarfs are a sit back and shoot army...

Is this part of a move by GW towards a plastic only range?

No, sorry PaleKing, don\'t mean to mislead you.

You can do either. If you come looking for constructive help and guidance then the forum is the best place. If you just want to see how your...

Welcome to the forum anyway.

Whilst it is fun to post mini\'s and get them scored, you may wish to post pics in the appropriate part of this forum. You will get lots of very usefull advice and...

Package posted!

Very nicely done, my first impression is that its very dark. Not sure if it can be lightened up, or if it needs it. Is he flashing in a darkened alley.

Much better to flash under a street light...

Posted a message to both my sender and receiver.

Ohhhh. It\'s just like Christmas:D

that is so cool

From what I remember that film started as a bright idea but was pretty rubish and only covered a very small part of the first book.

Matt and Bill, thanks for posting the photo\'s. I was so busy trying to stare at everything and nick painting tips that I completely forgot to take any photo\'s (apart from two fuzy ones I took at...

A small hand drill and paper clips are exactly the method I use.

OMG, you have got to turn this into an article once it is complete. Now I\'m off to make my own stamps....lol

Love the hair that you have done on the lad, but I would agree with Markus another highlight on the obvious points on the skin will just enhance the good work you have done to date.

What are those...

what magnets are you using?

Can I take this opportunity to encourage as many people to make POSITIVE criticism\'s of paintwork. Whilst I agree \"its horrible\" is no help to anyone, the same can be said of \"great work\".

I...

To all those CMONers that I met on the winners day, and also to the GW staff. Many thanks to all. Everyone I met was so very nice and kind and so willing to help out a fledgling painter like myself....

Yep, I\'m coming. but I don\'t plan to bring all my mini\'s. Looking forward to seeing yours Bill. Now must remember to set my alarm for 4am

Cannot believe how long this thread has rumbled on for, but I\'m loving it:D

Beowolf feel free to fill us in with all the gritty details of your life. Reading about your adventures saves me from...

My first reaction was that the position of the non-sword arm looked wrong. So I agree with the others.
Instead of cutting and moving the elbow, why not do it at the shoulder, you should get more...

Not just you Krom, I\'m getting the same thing. Voted anyway. Very nice paint job. I\'ts getting me tempted to have another go at the O\'s and G\'s......

would love to join in (please)....

UK, will ship anywhere

Thanks for the comments, all sounds good advice.

I don\'t know why I didn\'t consider trying out methods on the spare heads. Never occurred to me. I think I will try out 2 or 3 ideas and post them...

I considering giving my giant a combover effect, but I want it to look pretty sparse and waspish. Has anyone tried modeling hair with fibre, or something equivolent?
You know the kind of stuff, like...

Mould lines..... Aghhhhhhh!!!!

It seams I can spend an hour removing them and looking for more and still find some when I take a photo. Keep up the great work...

Got to love the little chaps. :D

I will be there. I wouldn\'t miss the chance to meet such heros (maybe get a hint or two on how to improve).:)

such an inspirational idea...

I tip my hat in your direction.

There is some wacky stuff on that link.....

Love the smurfs!!!

LOL:drunk:

The blade looks great, what colours did you use for this?

Does anyone know what has become of this site?

what has been given, is given and cannot be taken away.

I blame the director and not BadRussianGuy

Sounds like you might have your paint too thin.

I have used hand wash liquid soap. This breaks the surface tension, and makes the model smell nice. Only the smallest of small drops is required...

Nice painting all round, and the scores appear fair IMHO.

The most obvious comment I would make is that the painting to the horns and skulls in the first two, do not appear as crisp as the rest of...

Nice painting throughout. Should easily be worth offering to the website.

Comments for what they are worth...

Coat looks a little too plain. Nice blending, but looks as if it would benefit from...

Saw it at GD, and even in the poor light there it shouted out LOVE ME! The skin tones are exquisite. I tried the skin 3 or 4 times on my giant before I was happy, and after looking at your mini I...

I can only repeat the views of others.

The standard of some of the details (especially the faces) appears very high and clearly demonstrates that you have talents.

Blending on the armour will...

It looks great on the whole and is very nearly a 9.0 IMHO.

If I was to be super critical I would say that the base is too large for the number (and size) of figures in it so you end up searching...

Yes scalelink it was. Not a cheep way of doing it through.

Thanks for the comments Bill, from a young artist with your talent, it means a lot.

I will get a photo of my third place model in the warhammer regiment category, but it might take a little while because I\'ve got to borrow a decent camera first.

Good luck with the venture, I had...

Cheers big man. Forgot my Camera.

Thats the problem with getting up at 2 am to catch the coach, is that you forget everything.:(
