now i am not giving up painting! but i am curious about what would you do if this past time was either taken away from you or you just had to move on. most of us take our hobby for granted in certain aspects..........what would you do with the time spent on miniatures if you had to spend it on...

i am primarily a single mini painter (i have the usual short attention span and fickle mind when it comes to tasks of great time length) i want to know how you guys go about completing a squad. when i look at most squads that go in for competitions they are invariably converted but still...

here\'s something i painted recently for Hasslefree miniatures. this is one of the only pics i managed to take before i posted him off (must spend more time photographing my minis) He is 28mm and sculpted by the legend that is Tom Meier. the detail on the cast is amazing (well it was a resin...

i am deperately trying to find some \'pocket brushes\' that are made in the sizes that we use as mini painters. does anybody know of any brands (or places to get them) which make brushes like these but down to a 00 or even 000 size? first linky second linky i need something fairly sturdy...

I was watching a programme the other day about this, and it struck me how many of us could be classified as having this without even knowing about it. Many of us are hoarders but there is a point where maybe it gets out of control. Dragonsreach raised the issue on some thread (how long do you...

as the title says: what really ticks you off about stuff related to the things we all love??? to get you all started my two main pet peeves are: 1. rediculously hard metal alloys. 2. Pitting/crumbled detail on a miniature. so come on.......out with it!:D

i had a weird idea the other day, but this one is much more possible. basically as many as people get together to form a painting community wher they learn off each other and encourage each other to enter competitions and such like. I am fed up with not being able to see painted minis in the...

asthe title reads..........anybody have it? the webisite says it was available on 16/1/06......i know royal mail is slow.........but this is taking the p155! i hate to say it but i think this magazine is going down the pan. many people are getting seroiusly ticked off by the late arrival of...

This is the second of the two variants of the Alyx mini by hasslefree. I wanted to paint them both at the same time to see if i could paint 2 minis in a week and still enjoy it. suffice to say yes i had a ball painting this and the other version of Alyx. please let me know what you think and...
