Hello from Paris! I\'m currently preparing this lovely lady (see pix at end of post), I\'ve created some additional accessories for her - cocktail, sunglasses, Vogue magazine etc. The beach itself is a problem: the sand has to shape around the objects, and also around the towel, remembering so...

So far I always painted 28mm - all ok. I just painted 3 54mm, no problemo matey-o. So WHY can\'t I get it right for the base coat on a 90? I thin as usual, load the brush just as should be, but I end up with the paint on the piece looking like plastic - no \"grain\", no way I can do some...

I\'ve received my Gunter \"U-47\" Prien from Andrea - great mini, good metal. I\'ve washed it, test assembled it, glued it, filled in the gaps with milliput (red) and filed his \"blank cranium\" so that the hat will fit.... now of course the mini is dirty again: metal dust, fingerprints, yuk...

Bonjour ˆ tous! aprs des annŽes passŽes ˆ Londres je suis rentrŽe en France, et je me trouve bien bte car.... je ne sais pas comment s\'appel le KLEAR (UK) (FUTURE US) en France! Existe-t-il au moins? Sinon y a-t-il des equivalents? Merci merci! Ma bouteille est presque vide, SOS! U

I am looking for tswo products by australian maker derivan matisse: liquid pencil (you have to see it to beleive it!) and of course the plastic pre primer. I could not find - after hours of googling and clicking and reading their site - a shop or online shop that sells these in europe. All info...

I ordered and paid the faq on armour from andrea\'s website a while ago but never received any confirmation for my order, so I emailed them to know if my order had made it or had been lost somehow. I emailed them at all avaliable addresses (not all at the same time :-D) and still: no answer. Do...

ainsty.co.uk is gone hhhhhelp! are they closed?

I am using MIG filter and they are fantastic, but I\'d like to have the same in different colours, a friend suggested I mix oil paint turp and enamel thinner. Does that seem a good idea? Any risk of explosion? :twisted: More seriously do you have any experience with preparing filters for future...

I\'ve just tried a filter by MIG - very nice, but I wonder, considering the smell is turp, is there a difference to home made oil washes? (filters being a term used by WWII modelers as far as I know, more than the others, meaning light washes to unify the tone and create subtle realistic...

Hello, I\'m having trouble with flash on some platform, could you be angels and look at this page: web.mac.com/magichippo/ and let me know if you can or can\'t see the silly tiny animation? Thanks a thousand times! I\'m on mac and I can\'t check things on a pc or unusual browsers!

I\'ve seen quite a few minis with golden plaques engraved in black - some are obviously the real mccoy, but others look more like a fake :rolleyes: Is there a type of paper that one can print on to that effect, how do you do it, guys? cheers

I just read a good article on airbrushes (I\'ve never used one) in an osprey book on tank painting, and I find myself wondering: does anybody use airbrushes to paint 28mm? is it possible? is it worth it? is it one of many tools? all infos most welcome

I\'ve got varnishes from many brands, and I am trying to find out which type of varnish on a mini would resist alcohol. I know it\'s an odd question but it\'s very very important for a project I have. all infos welcome àll jokes about my drinking while painting also welcomed :drunk::drunk:

I\'m going to put some orcs, black templars and minas tirits guys that I painted for sale on ebay - and I wonder: what is the best way to sell: army or units? For example should I sell the whole army from the orc fantasy army box (the box costs £100) or should I sell the black orcs on their own...

Hi, I\'m painting some wood elves from GW - frankly they are NOT good casting (I refuse by principle to criticise GW sculptors - they are working with handcuffs on so to speak). The elves swords/lances are already warping coming out of the box! My problem is I\'m painting this for a kid...
