Has anyone ordered from the recently. The seem to have a real issue with returning emails. I've tried multiple times both through email and Facebook with no success. They are obviously still alive since I just received a newsletter this morning.

I've had this on my desk along with the 54mm for quite some time. Doesn't look like i'll be getting to the 28mm version anytime soon. This is not the first run, but the remastered version with tighter details and casting. 35.00 shipped USA only

Hello everyone, finally picking up the brushes again, after a much needed break. What better way to get going than with this wonderful bust. So far applied basic basecoat with a little shadowing and highlighting and basic weathering. I've started working on the shoulderpad details, and I'm kind...

When doing fur, specifically a bear fur/pelt, is drybrushing still a viable technique for a display quality? I'm working on this model in particular, http://banelegions.maelstromgames.co.uk/?tag=bnl-020 The pelt seems pretty detailed, and i'm sure the drybrush would bring out the details...

Had this on my plate for what seems like years, but finally got around to finishing it. Took the 2 inch toy and stripped off all paint and started from a grey primer. Then added about 20 little details parts with styrene. Clear lenses were done with 5min epoxy then airbrushed with layers or ink...

Finally finished my Clone Trooper from Knights Models. Wasn't too happy with the casting on this one. Had a ton of rough spots, that needed cleaning, but overall a nice sculpt. Added a small antenna on the helmet to give him some extra character. Overall had a fun time. Basic painting done with...

Hey Everyone, Last night I figured that I would try out using a wet palette, as I've found myself having to paint in little spurts. I'm finding that it's not really working any better than when using a regular ceramic palette. Once I lay down my different colors to mix with, everything seems...

Still a bit to do. Need to paint some little details here and there, and then start the pastel weathering on the base and figure. Painted in oils and acrylics..There are some subtle gradients in the armor that didn't quite photograph too well..

I just received my new lamp to replace my ott-light and i'm looking to replace the two bulbs with a more "natural" light. I've found some daylight bulbs in the range of 5000K and 6500K. I know pretty much anything over 4500K is considered daylight, but is there any benefit on the 6500 vs 5000...

Hello everyone, Not sure if anyone is interested, but I have a NIB Boba Fett slave 1 from Finemolds that I'm looking to unload. It's a super detailed kit, if you are into that sort of thing. Nothing is wrong with it, just don't have the time to work on it, due to second child being born, so...

Hey everyone, I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one of the miniatures offered by Scibor; specifically the dwarf general standard on warbear. Does anyone have any feedback on the casting quality of some of his miniatures?

Has anyone had any issues with shipping with Figone? My first order from them was great. Item shipped promptly and received within a week. Second order has been nothing but a nightmare. Order was placed on the 14th of Jan. Got an email saying is was shipped on the 21st. Fine. Weeks go by no...

Hello everyone, Here is quick photo shot of my clone trooper from Knights Models. He's actually a bit brighter in person, but I'm defiantly trying to push the contrast further than the original box art. Still a long way to go. Probably have another 2-3 days on the armour then I'll start the oil...

I'm considering attending GenCon for the first time this year, and I was wondering if anyone could share their thoughts on how the painting competition was, and any opinions on the classes that were offered. I haven't seen anything yet about possible events, but hopefully they will post them up...

Just curious if anyone has any input on the casting quality of the miniatures from Knights Models, namely any of the 70mm star wars or marvel range.
