I feel like my formative years were spent here - I'm unsure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Team Montreal will probably have a lounge if it\'s like last year!

June 20th will mark the second year GD Toronto is held at the Queen Elizabeth Building. Let\'s all hope the lighting is better than last year!

Also not a trekkie. Thought the newest was very strong. A logical cinematic choice for the weekend.

Born Ruffians




:D

Criminally underrated at its present score IMO. I think the comments should speak for themselves, though. One of my favourite pieces you\'ve done! :beer:

One of the first Slaaneshi paintjobs I\'ve seen where it seems like the \'pleasure\' aspect comes out in the facial expression (and not in numerous sculpted breasts) lol

Noooo! :(

Get better soon!

Oh, no mistake was made. I am referring to the fact that a smoker is compromising their chances for the best life they could get.

And most painters never make it over 9.0, that doesn\'t mean they...

That isn\'t the point. You\'re just increasing your chances of ending your one shot at life exponentially by smoking, most people would care to do what they could to get the most out of their lives.

What I meant is that it - the situations - aren\'t that bad. Maybe there are rare cases like that, otherwise that\'s just the kind of over-sensationalized tripe being fed to \"the people\" by some of...

FFS, it\'s not that bad.

Sanjay, post a pic of your paint box ;)

How old were you in 2006? I\'m wondering as the contrast is very striking for a miniature done at such a young age.

Even Mike\'s hair seems to resemble Ned\'s! Uncanny...:o

Brilliant work!

Horns.

Gigantic swords (and weapons).

Massive rocky outcrops.

Bases with one tree placed perfectly to complement the figure (of course this is an artistic aspect, less of a miniature cliche)...

Bill, hope your birthday is amazing! Here, have a bear! :D

In historical circles, miniatures are rightly seen as works of art and attract people that will pay that sort of money of top pieces. Apparently, Kosta Kariotelis\' \"Faust\" went for over 30k euros.

It\'s cool if someone else points out that a person has 10k but if you yourself do it, you really know a little bit of fresh air could be in order.. hopefully, that statement wont come back to haunt...

You\'ll wonder how you could\'ve lived without \'em! You\'ll hear yourself saying wow everytime you use \'em in a game of 40k..

that\'s really funny stuff though lol

Not quite the discussion going on now but I hadn\'t even heard of Phelps\' drunk-driving charges (while underage) until after the pot bust..... in my opinion, drunk driving is a lot more newsworthy...

Hey!!! Good to see you back and also glad to hear your \"overall\" health is fine once more :)

Hey that pic is from the Royal BC museum in Victoria :D Visiting, Mike? :P

Happy bday (again)! :D

lol and you contributed to the discussion, and THEN posted that. One or the other, my good man, one or the other.

The scene in Star Wars where Obi Won fights Darth Vader... my grandfather had it and some other movie scenes on his computer (I was about 4 or 5 years old) and I just watched that one over and over....

I\'ll look out for that one, thanks for posting the trailer :)

Ahh you have 321 posts to go before it can be said publicly.

Hurray! Another Canadian freak!! Soon we shall have total control ;)

Hey Matt! I\'m writing your happy birthday note here, where I met ya, rather than on the evil social network-which-shall-not-be-named. So have a good one, make the best of it, and try to remember it...

you\'ve absolutely put the expectations in commercial fantasy sculpting for the roof.. this is just incredible.

Happy bday Nick Cage! :P

Happy birthday, hope it\'s a good one! :beer:

How many votes were up when you made the thread?

It settled into a more deserved score quickly. Declaring a mini underrated after less than 50 votes is a not really necessary though.

@Alex - Per day it was like $220-250 including resturants, randomness, and the hotels (which were fairly nice as it wasn\'t purely an expo trip, it was both Spain and the UK with my dad).

Apparently, something like 90% of Europe could fit into Canada. I\'d be very happy if so many countries were that nearby, here, most provinces take hours of flights to get to from almost anywhere.

Hurray! It\'s still super far away though lol

A search of \"world expo montreaux\" yielded the official site ...http://www.we2011.com/?t=0&p=pages/pge000.php

Honourable mention to JMD minis for the assassin.

It can be shocking how little some actually do know about their own country, however the USA related ones are absurd. How oblivious CAN a person be? :P

You edited it after I posted...

Anyhow, going through ten years of GD in every country in 20 minutes is really improbable, but I agree that the platform should be kept in vehicle, it isn\'t worth...

Yeah, this is just getting ridiculous though.

As stated by cyber, it\'s possible to enter in either category, however I would recommend you put it in 40k vehicle to stay on the safe side. The judges can be a bit fickle, to say the least!

She\'s a woman.

I didn\'t know we were discussing \"purely\" the UK GD. Even if that is so, what is wrong with bringing in more judges..? One or two more categories wouldn\'t add thousands more models.

I don\'t think things will change either, however the point about adding another category being more harder for the judges to get their job done has some flaws. If GW can afford to fly store managers...

Finally.... a reason to paint the old sentinel I have lying around. Your work never ceases to inspire in some way or another!
