<p>I've haven't had much time to paint much recently, but I certainly have been working on miniatures of late. &nbsp;This January I accepted a job as a game designer for the D&amp;D Miniatures game at Wizards of the Coast, so the last few months have been a real wild ride. &nbsp;It's been...

<p>I've been involved as a Judge for the D&amp;D Miniatures games at various big shows (Indy, So Cal, Winter Fantasy/D&amp;D Experience)&nbsp;the last three years.&nbsp;&nbsp; The second time I was at Gen Con I talked with the man in charge of Organized Play for the game and told him that I...

<p>Welcome to yet another blog!</p><p>Since I already have a blog, it seems silly to have two -- but in this case I can strip out my miniature-related posts from <a href="http://ptlee.livejournal.com/">my personal blog.</a></p>

I broke 100! Okay, 102, actually. I had to delete two. Last night I submitted my 99-102nd miniature to CMoN, which happened to be a set of four trophies for the WotC D&D Miniatures game Sealed Championship that is going on at Gen Con So Cal next weekend. http://www.coolminiornot.com/105205...

Are there any planned get-togethers for cool mini or not people at GenCon this year? It looks like I\'m actually going to make it this year. One panel is the \"how to become a professional mini painter\" and I\'ll hopefully make it to that schedule permitting.

A while ago someone posted an interesting illusion on how the brain could be fooled in thinking the same color shade was different depending on the surroundings. Here are a few more: http://www-bcs.mit.edu/gaz/main-frameset.html

Hey airbrushers, I have a question for you guys. I\'m wondering if there exists some sort of mask that you can attach to the airbrush. My idea is something about 6 inches from the nozzle and you insert little slides into it for different mask effects. (a circle for doing dots, a slit for a...

This is in reference to the comic \"Doomed & Doomer\". How does Chrispy know about the Bookshelf (tm)? The bottom shelf is storage, the 2nd shelf is assorted D&D books from 1st ed to 3.5 ed, the 3rd shelf is dediated to both the WEG Star Wars game and WotC\'s version, the 4th shelf currently...

I can\'t believe I\'m doing this... Normally, I\'m a patient man and I can wait for a comment, but here\'s a fig I\'m quite happy with and I\'m impatiently looking for some comments. It\'s one of the few non-monster miniatures that I\'ve been happy with. Reaper sculpt name Derek the Tall...

I guess this post is more geared for Chern Ann, but anyone can pipe in. I\'m finally thinking of posting some figures on to eBay for sale, and I am pretty much at a loss for where to start. I know an automation method isn\'t available now, but I was wondering if it would be possible to write a...

Hi all, Just a heads up for those Geeks in Minneapolis. If you plan on going to CONvergence there is a panel Saturday morning (11 am) called \"98 Figures of Lead on the wall\". I\'ll be there as so far the only moderator; it\'s sort of a show-and-tell for miniatures. Stop on by and introduce...

Hi all, Quick question here -- can anyone tell me the temperature that vulcanized rubber molds are \"baked\" at when they\'re created? I obviously don\'t mean the room-temperature vulcanizing rubber, but what companies like GW would use. The point is that I need to cast a figure that might...

Okay, hypothetical discussion time. ;) I\'m sure that quite a bit of you have had quite a bit of experience in the miniature world, and I was wondering what needs to be done to start up a miniature company. Some of these questions might be pretty general for any sort of company, so I\'m sure...

Does anyone have an airbrush recommendation for miniature painters? Here\'s the point -- I just experimented with non-standard primer colors for speed painting, in the current case an enamel silver/chrome coating on a few armored figures -- 5 figures done in approximately 5 hours for the set...
