Hi guys, Long time, but very infrequent painter and poster here. I'm looking to up my game a bit from tone-mid-highlight but good standard tabletop quality, to making a couple of good display pieces. I'm particularly interested in getting smoother and more subtle transitions between tones...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/347764 Episode VII - The Last Pedestrian. A week last Tuesday, not far from a certain forest moon... The Emperor is dead. The once mighty galactic empire is in turmoil; it's elite forces destroyed by a rag tag bunch of amateur insurgents and knee-high plushies...

Those Nice folks over at The Forum of Doom are having a new painting competition. The Unofficial Diorama of Doom 2012 is being organised by my good friend Inso on behalf of the forum. The last time i entered this competition (and indeed its the only painting competition I've ever entered) I...

Hi I used to have a link to a paint colour conversion tool that would take a digital Hex colour value and give you the nearest colours in a range of paints, citadel, Vallejo, reaper, foundry, testers tamiya etc. The tool was on silicon dragon I think but the site has gone. Anyone got anything...

This is the start of a diorama that I had the idea for when I did the "Do you think he'll notice?" diorama wayyyyy back in 2009. Anyway the working title for this Diorama is ... "Not on MY battlefield!" Starting with this from old crow. From Heresy Miniatures, Bob and Dave - the line...

I'm thinking of making a diorama that will include someone arc welding. I'm wondering how to do the arc welding effect? I'm guessing it would be a VERY aggressive OSL effect in brilliant whit/blue tinge and with very sharpe shadows? I'm also guessing that the arc light would simply wash out the...

Wow it's almost been a year since i was here! Following on from old threads such as this one and this one. I thought I'd share a picture or two of the gaming board that i created for Salute 2011 to demonstrate the game World of Twilight. Voting link All of the buildings on the board are...

HI guys I'm looking for a very accurate way to cut styrene tube that creates a square end, but also enables repeatable lengths to be cut. I'm cutting rod from 1.2mm diamter up to 3.2, and hollow tubes from 2.4mm diameter up to 5.5mm. I'm already using one of these. While its great for...

Work is progressing on the third of my Laser Cut styrene building kits, with the 3D model for the Benan Watchtower almost complete. Like the other models, this is based on a household rubbish item to bulk out the base with laser cut styrene components used to build and detail the building. On...

I'm working on some stockade fortifications and watchtowers as the next releases in my kits. Some teaser pictures here, but a LOT more on my blog These are the initial concept sketches and designs that i will then turn into Laser Cut Styrene Building Kits to go with the ones i already produce...

Some of you may have seen the individual threads I have posted in the Work in progress logs for my Laser Cut Styrene Building Kits. As I now have a small number of these kits either in production or in prototype form, I decided it was worth putting up a group shot and pimping it here. Voting...

Whilst at Salute 2010 I was asked a number of times about the paint job I had used on the Pryn-Gul Tower. I've always thought of myself as a competent painter rather than a good one or a professional, so I was quite flattered. Spurred on by this and subsequent comments on the pictures of the...

Along with all the Pryn-Gul Tower kits I've just started selling on ebay I also had a couple of sets of prototype kits for TWF-02 codenamed "Stables" cut, and I couldn't resist starting to put them together tonight. Concept Model Progress so far I'm certainly pushing the cutter and the...

I've taken the plunge into Lasercutting components to make building kits to complement the Twilight Fantasy Miniatures game sold by Hasslefree Miniatures This is my first complete effort, designed in CAD, laser cut, assembled, and painted. The idea is to make a small range of highly...
