Hello CMoN, I just thought I'd post a thread and attach a photo of the very cool mini I found lying around at a hobby store in Taipei last night. An unopened "1995" Citadel Dark Elf Sorcerer y'all! Very cool! This is an era when I believe Citadel made minis with tons of character and cool...

Last night while pleasantly working on a miniature scenario involving a 40K Ork and two Space Marines, I was completely and utterly flabbergasted when these miniatures suddenly came to life on their base and proceeded to take-each-other-out! Indeed, just as I'd called my little brother in - so...

1:45 am in the morning. Paints mixed on my palette. Mountain Dew sparkling away in my tumbler. Federico Mompou and Game Of Thrones audio books chiming away in the background. It's gonna be a great night/morning! Total and utter miniature paradise. Well enough of these shenanigans ~ time to...

Hehe ~ I've always marvelled at the quality and talented painting that the GW 'Eavy Metal crew created! Going way back to Mike McVey's early high standard of wonderful mini-painting. To name but one wonderful painter. But, I can't help but reminisce on past posts (going way back to the...

Hi, I was wanting to know if the GW paints in the new pots, is still the same paint as the previous paints that were made in France. Also ~ I see they've changed the names of some of the colours. Is it still the same color with a new name? Thanks! Final question. This one is about Milliput...

Here\'s --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWJeVDp6MTk <-- a crazy link to cycles & scooters zooming around the crazy traffic here in Taiwan. Hope you all enjoy it! Thanks! Chris Three Day Bender: Mac

This is just an experiment. It may not work? I\'ve been painting pretty regularly in my spare time since joining this site in 2003. 2009 is shaping up to be a good year and I\'m happy to have recently finished two minis. I wanted to show some pics of my current works in progress. I\'m...

Hi, I was really surprised last Sat night to discover that two of the guys I work in a band with (the drummer and trumpet player) both love gaming and game regularly. Also, Wesley the incredibly gifted trumpet player told me he was interested in painting minis! This is great news to me as this...

Hi, I\'ve nearly finished my first mini in over four years. I\'m pretty excited! I have some questions though. I don\'t have any Testors dull-coat or whatever brand. This is a display mini that\'s not intended to be gamed with. So, is it essential to coat it with some kinda protective...

I know that this has nothing to do with miniature painting. But is it just me? This is such a pure and beautiful form of music and Albert King was, and will always be, one of the most powerful blues d00ds ever to walk this planet! Still giving me goosebumps...

I know starting this topic is very fanboyie but where is da man? I see that it\'s been over a year since his last post here at CMoN. Which seems strange because he seemed to be such an active member before his mysterious disappearance. I suppose family life, work etc took over. I really...

I just saw this ( http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/Jardacka ) d00ds gallery today. Well what was left of it. Poor d00d! You really do need thick skin around here. Good one Mr Travolta!

Does anybody remember good \'ol Chrispy? What\'s he doing these days? I remember back in the good old days Chrispy was posting in the forums at least ten times a day or maybe more. I haven\'t seen him \'round for ages. What about Jennifer Haley? Her Rags to Riches story (so to speak) is so...

A friend of mine e-mailed me this recently and to be honest I was blown away by what I saw. I lived out that day truly believing in magic and all that stuff. I was telling my mate about it and he reckoned that this is just very good trick photography. What do you guy\'s think? Enjoy...
