Decided to take the plunge and post my musings on here. (More like be embarrassed into actually finishing something.) Criticism welcome so long as it’s constructive. I’d rather be pushed into doing better and improving. Lately I’ve been alternating between Khorne and Mechanicus. I’ve realised I...

As the title says, I’m after a copy of the resin pirate bust Garfio from Spira miribilis. I wasn’t fast enough to catch a copy of this limited run and would still like to get hold of one. Would also like to track down a copy of the iconic Mama buho bust as well. Will pay a premium for these.

I placed an order with Kimera models a few months back and as yet am still waiting to receive my goods. Even allowing for Christmas it’s more than late. Ordinarily this wouldn’t bother me but it was for more than a few euros and none of my emails enquiring on the status of the order have been...

I know. I know! The Scale 75 paint topic has been done to death but I'm going to give them a try and have one question. When I will get them I'll get the entire range, both Scalecolour and Fantasy. What I wanted to know is are there any of the smaller boxed sets that are not included in the main...

A few years back I bought several boxes of Vallejo Kolinsky Sable brushes due to my LGS ceasing to sell them. I'd used them almost exclusively for ages and never had a single problem. Due to circumstances I had to stop painting for a few years but now the brushes are giving me trouble. (I had...

Have been trying to knock out several mold sets of small cobblestones to paint and have trouble with the plaster being chalky and breakable. Does anyone know any additives to make it sturdier? I might try a bit of PVA glue both painted onto the final product and mixed into the plaster mix. I...

Now that I am no longer able to get printer's inks from a source working within the offset printing industry I have been thinking of trying metallic oils. It doesn't seem feasible to have the inks posted to where I live so I've been considering Abteilung metallic oils or the True Metals from AK...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for someone who could do with and deserves a free set of paints. Nominate someone you know who loves mini painting and needs these supplies rather than someone who just wants them for the sake of having them. All I'd ask for is at least part postage if full...

Has anyone used the inkjet decal sheets and has feedback to give me regarding tips etc. My knowledge of this product stops at the instructions on the front of the pack. What have you used them for and did you stumble accross any great sites for graphics to print on them? I have just bought a...

I have posted this in it\'s rightful spot on the trading post but I am guessing that it might reach a wider audience here as well. I am after a Sad Girl mini that seems to be sold out everywhere I look. Ordinalrily I wouldn\'t bother past looking at the sold out tag but this is for a cause that...

Hi All..... thought I would leave a message on the forums here as a last resort to see if I can drum up a Sad Girl mini that no-body wants and is looking for a new home. While not looking for sympathy from anyone it is for a cause that is close to my heart .... which is brightening my mother\'s...

Previoulsy I have read a write up of many of the Vallejo colours and their shade and highlight. I have spent the last 90 mins searching for it to no avail. Can anyone remember where I would have seen this great resource? Thank.

Does anyone have any reference material for painting fluid filled bottles. I am looking for anything from a painted mini example to paintings to real life stills. Anything will be helpful. I have seen a few nice minis that meet this criteria but cannot remember names to search for off the top of...

I have just started to paint a Warmachine Cryx Brute Thrall and wanted an effect that makes the flesh on the arms look like it is blended into metallic fists. Much in the way frostbite looks when blended into normal flesh. Due to the nature of metallic acrylic paints would it be technically...

I am interested in painting a mini that has a nice skeletal feel about it and is an awesome thing to paint. Does anybody have suggestions to narrow my search for me?
