Hi Folks, I\'m trying to get beyond 50 votes for this mini. Please click the pic and vote if you haven\'t already/ Thanks all!

Does anyone know of a good link or two showing techniques for painting hair on minis? Something beyond the basic basecoat, wash, drybrush method I have used before. Once I get my faces done, I\'ll be thinking about hair next. Something specific to black hair would be especially helpful (since...

I\'m having a bit of trouble figuring out what this guy\'s armoured vest is supposed to be. Is it metal studs on fabric? Or metal studs on leather? Or a metal breastplate with studs on it? Or something else? And how about those three sets of vertical bars in the centre of his chest - what are...
