It seems the cheapest way is to order directly from Spain, but I don't know if they ship to here, and if they do if it's reliable. Anyone have experience? I'm going to buy the 63 paints set, which is already expensive. US distributors seem to have a big mark-up compared the the Euro/USD...

I was looking at submissions such as this... ...and marveling at the use of different colors on the minotaur's blue/grey skin. It adds such depth and realism, and I'm wondering if anyone here can explain how this technique can be pulled off effectively? Does thought need to be put into...

One that when painting doesn't get chalky or separated after you've really thinned it for blending glazes, etc? I want smooth gradients from black to grey to white. Per recent thinning threads, I know using a medium is better than water with whites in particular, but I imagine some brands have...

Someone on the herdstone forum posted it ages ago, and a few of people are trying to find out where it can be bought. It's an amazing sculpt, and very true to the pic in the army book. The herdstone poster said the pic was originally posted on CoolMiniOrNot, and a search is bringing up nothing!

I just picked up this set: http://www.amazon.com/Iwata-Revolution-Airbrushing-System-Compressor/dp/B001PI6H3K The results from testing are okay. I'm mixing P3 paint with isopropyl alcohol until it's 2% milk consistency. It's a bit splatty sometimes, so I might need to go thinner. It also...

I\'m trying to create slightly warm off-white, weathered looking armour for White Scars marines. Having trouble achieving ultra smooth blends from a white/bone/brown base mix, blending up to highlight until it gets near pure white. Even though I\'m diluting paint heavily with water, I still get...

I\'m wondering if anyone has good tips for a base with patches of static grass? Looking more for pro display standard than simple rank and file. From what I\'ve picked up so far from experimenting is the grass will look thin just applied over a painted brown dirt base, so to apply the grass...

Was curious to see the ratio of people who use green stuff type of material vs. oven baked sculpey? I\'ve just started working with mini conversions, and am currently using both. I far prefer sculpey for it\'s clay like texture and infinite working time, but the obvious disadvantage is you...

Just a quick question on what\'s best to use for cleaning an airbrush gun of thinned Citadel/Vallejo type paints? The type I have (and haven\'t yet used) is a metal Iwata gravity feed gun. I\'ve heard thinning with distilled water helps, but what else - they have cleaning kits online, worth...

I\'m tired of paints quickly drying out on me, so recently tried a wet palette again using soaked Pro Masterson paper, an inch thick wet sponge, a plastic sandwich container, and GW / Vallejo paint. It works okay but tends to auto-dilute paint fast (which is mostly fine as I work thin), but...

Just wanted to drop a note here, I posted in the trade forum - let me know if your pics need freshening up? http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=29779 Cheers! :beer:

I\'ve been a working pro in photoshop for 10+ years, and am offering to make people\'s piccies look nice if you feel like donating a few GW minis or a little paint, brushes, paypal - anything to keep my hobby inexpensive. I collect and am looking to add to a lot of armies (especially marines...

Where can I find the best deals on metal grill/mesh pieces (ie, a spacecraft floor) and etched brass foliage (ie, vines/leaves on a forest floor) for GW scale mini basing?

Dig in your paint pile people, I need this OOP color to finish my Eldar! Will pay good price, or swap for something. Cheers! :beer:
