For what ever reason, I've noticed my hands have been a bit shaky lately. Does anyone know any good techniques to help steady them while painting? It's not like I have parkinsons or anything, but it can be hard for me to highlight faces, dot eyes, etc occasionally. Also, does anyone else...

I've been so depressed lately that it's a struggle for me to do anything but read. Hell, I haven't even been on here to see what new and amazing works you guys have posted... I don't really know what's wrong with me. I think I just need some motivation... What keeps the rest of you going?

Despite the fact that it came out in 2007, I only recently picked up a copy of Mass Effect for the 360. I bought it friday last week, and was so addicted that I managed to log about 32 hours of play time between then and yesterday, when I finished it. Not only is it an amazing game, but it...

Whelp, I\'m finally going to cave in and buy myself a digital camera. I\'ve been putting it off for a while now, mostly borrowing friend-owned cameras when I needed them for something special, and using the three MP one on my phone for other stuff. I\'d really like to get my work up here though...

I was just curious if very many people here play any of miniatures they paint, or if they paint just to paint. I used to play more in fourth edition of 40k myself, and have been trying to get an apocalypse sized army going recently, but with how bad necrons got nerf\'d in 5th I\'m starting to...

I\'ve been thinking about heavily modding my army, and I think it would actually turn out really well provided I can find the right bits, but I\'m sort of terrified of screwing it all up and ipso-facto being out a ton of time and money. How do you guys get past that? Most of the people here do...

I just have to know: Does anyone actually buy the stuff? I was in a GW today buying paint when I noticed it, and the price. $8. For superglue. I never really looked before because I get mine for a buck at the local hobby shop, and it\'s even in a bigger container then the GW brand. It just...

Quick question; I read the tutorial on snow bases (http://coolminiornot.com/article/aid/323), and was wondering what the difference is between bicarbonate of soda and sodium bicarbonate? Also if there isn\'t any difference won\'t it just turn yellow? I\'m trying to do some snowy bases for my...

This might seem like a very strange question (or maybe it won\'t, it\'s probably been asked before) but is there any way to paint the sisters of battle\'s faces so that they look less like dudes? I picked up a couple to practice on when I want a break from my current army, and if I follow the...

I don\'t really know where to start, but I\'m looking for some Mechanicum style prayers to the machine spirit, or what have you. They type of thing you might find written on a votive paper stuck to a dreadnought. It\'s a long story but my old car is rapidly deteriorating into a rusted hulk of...

Recently I was stripping paint from a tomb spyder I nabbed on ebay, unfortunately I was doing it over a sink and while brushing the loose paint off I brushed off one of his claws as well, which immediately went down the drain. If anyone else here has ever painted or assembled one, the claw side...

I have a problem. Every time I spray something plastic, be it to prime it or base it, if it isn\'t an enamel paint or a metal mini, my plastic ends up with this wrinkled texture in places. I\'ve tried GW paint, rustoleum, Krylon, etc. Everything that isn\'t enamel (IE lacquer or acrylic)...

I\'ve been painting various individual figures for about a year now (to varying degrees of success) but I managed to pick up about 3000 points worth of necrons on ebay, and I want to start painting them. Problem is, I can\'t really decide on a color scheme. Plain metal necrons tend to be pretty...

Some friends and I were considering getting into Dark Heresy, but I was just curious about the start cost (since I\'m the only one currently employed and would therefore be buying everything). I know that the core book is $60, and I can pick up the GM book for $20, but is there anything else...

I recently started painting minis myself and for the longest time I\'ve used rustoleum flat black enamel to base coat. It works really well on the plastic minis I\'ve used it on, providing a very smooth and even coat. But now that I\'m building my army more, and have been picking up more metal...
