The base looks awesome, and I love the model you have there. Maybe a wounded person, or a civilian behind him? Give him a reason to be standing out there engaging targets? Just a thought, but as...

Honestly, because Insta, and TWIT, and FaceCrap are all vacious wastes of time where someone might click the Thumbs up, or smiley face, but they wont actually interact, or care about what you have...

That looks great! Especially when you added the foliage, you are absolutely right it made a big difference. As to the photo work I can't say too much other then I still use construction paper for my...

Are you going to marble paint any of it? I've got a small cemetery statue I want to do, but I haven't looked into it too much yet.

Like KruleBear said, I would go with a heavy gray pallet. Wood as it ages turns gray, so a dead forest isn't shades of brown, it is all grays. With the only green usually being the grass and low...

The truck is in 1/285th metal. I wish they were pinned! That would have made it so much easier. Right now I'm thinking about using a soldering iron to heat up an exacto knife and try to cut them off...

Good job! And welcome back to painting mini's! I think if you look a little You'll find a bunch of us have drifted in and out of the hobby. I know I took almost a decade off after I joined the army....

When I first got into mini's it was all about the mini. As time has gone on, and I've gotten older I've found I get just as much, maybe even more enjoyment out of designing the base and decorations...

I'm currently messing with some small scale dioramas/basing for some vehicles. I need some advice on how to pull this one off. I'm trying to set the Hemtt climbing onto the bridge, but I need to cut...

That cork board looks like volcanic rock the way it broke apart. Makes me think of a few ideas for a dragon I have. I've never worked with cork before. I guess I'm going to have to buy some next time...

If it's any consolation I bought Gauth 20 years ago and only got around to basing him 2 years ago, and still haven't finished the paint job the way I want yet. Awesome work on that Knight though....

I like your base. What did you use for the rock/dirt look?

The eyes look awesome. I love how you get your metallic so accurate looking. Amazing work man.

Ok so I've done a little work on Gauth in the past year and change, but work has kept me from doing too much. I did quite a bit of work on this guy lately. Basing is going well, and I threw an...

Here are a couple more dragons I'm working on. They are both old ones that are getting redone. I haven't done too much with either one yet, however I am working on the fin of the silver, if the gray...

I still have some of those old Dungeon, and Dragon Mags. I keep them in my gaming trunk with my old ADnD books. It's funny because all of the resources we used to get from them are so easily...

Outside of 3D printing they seem to be the only game in town for making new Battletech mini's. I used to get them from my local shop(20 years ago) Turns out that shop closed(10 years ago) and I don't...

So I'm noticing a trend here, there are almost NO Iron wind metals on this site. I mean all of last year and the year before only had 1 model posted for each year. I'm guessing people aren't big fans...

This is one of my current projects, Lord Ironraven from Reaper. I had painted one years ago and he was one of the ones I got so I could try again. Obviously still a ways to go. I'm pretty happy with...

That's in part why I chose the theme I did, I actually considered grinding the edge down with good ole mister dremmel. I couldn't guarantee a transition I'd be happy with so I left it as is and...

What do you think of the reaper paints? Have you tried them yet?

That is an understatement! I think they took the time to sculpt every single scale. I know I need to invest some time in washes, I've always used ink(habbit from back in the day) but I want to up my...

Funny thing I'm in Construction. The while inspiration for the copper is 15 years ago I did some beach front condos and strung all the copper line sets for the HVAC system up all seven stories before...

So, as I've said in a few other posts I am finally returning to Minis after 20 years. This little guy here has been with me since the early days, as evidenced by the fact that you can't even buy him...

That's something I've been working on. I asked on another thread but have any of you worked with copper weathering? I've got a copper Dragon I've been trying to work with but it's just not right. I...

So the title of your thread caught my attention because like you were two years ago I am just returning to painting minis again after some 20 years. If I can come close to your progress in the past...

Thanks for the heads up, and the advice. I really appreciate it.

I'll get out one of my old school rules for the future thank you. Now when you reference contrast are you speaking of paint selection, or photography selection?

Hello all.

So I'm now to CMoN and I really wanted to jump in with both feet. I've already learned a lot as a lurker. I'm trying to get better with my pictures, and I wish I still had as...
