Does anyone know good magnifying glass setups, or products??? I went to michaels the other day, and saw some cool lights with these mag. glasses that would be angled any direction, but they are liek 150+$$$ Thats expensive!!!

OK, so I\'m into Rackham mini\'s, and I\'m into the Rackham teams style. So much that I barely care to add my own style to it (YET). One thing I notice is their basing looks like a nice green grassy field, yet they don\'t use flock. What is it? Is it just GS\\BS roll out, then dimpled, and...

Just wondering because, I sometimes feel as if imperfections on parts of my mini\'s cause chalkyness in my painting. I have been able to create perfectly smooth color transitions, yet there is still a textured look to my painting, and I was using 8:1 thinning even. Therefore, perhaps this...

I guess this is half request, half wondering. Something I saw a while ago, thats caught my interest again because I\'m painting again. There is a mini here which is ranked in the mid 9\'s, yet I have seen an alternative photo of the same mini from a golden demon website. It seemed the GD...

Some adjustments here and there, I also touched up some highlights. It wasn\'t till yesterday I realized dullcote really down swanked all my edging, so I re-did some stuff... pretty sloppy! Can someone tell me if this is an improvement??? its competing with this

Hello... Just gathering some input as to what the general paint recipes may be for the Immortal of Destiny that Rackham has showcased. Some pictures: http://www.rackham-store.com/boutique_us/images_produits/UKWFBO01_1.jpg I tried using, 2:1 bleached bone: bestial brown, with some brown...

Cripeys, after damn university, and moving to So Cal, I got fed up and put this dumb mini up. Just looking for some votes or comments... rather criticisms are more appreciated (find the bad!). Its my first completed mini, base, etc...etc...etc... I may use him for freehand practice too, but...

I was just looking at Confrontation mini\'s at Rackhams store, and.. they look nice. One thing I seem to notice though, is that skin tones don\'t seem to be heavily shaded or highlighted, the way many mini\'s are here. It seems like its all about a subtle smooth transition... but, am I crazy...

As I can\'t seem to find any.

Selling painted or converted miniatures. I spent an absolutly awful day toying around with architects and excel today, and it dawned on me that I should be painting in the comfort of my own home, and then selling the minis. So Im just looking for really any info on the subject, or is it just...

Just wondering what steps should be taken to protect painted minis for showcase and for gaming? Can the same process be done to both without quality loss? Part of the reason I am investing in Confrontation\\Warhammer is painting\\modeling. The other part is because I\'d like to try out a...

So, I drop a mini. Its fully painted. Its a wizard with a pointy hat. Pointy hat knicks the chair before hitting the cushy rug. Its a red hat now with a silver tip. Should I just paint over the exposed metal with the original highlight? Or should I do some super precise-re-priming...

Just wondering if anyone knew any resources where I could find out about the Rackham Confrontation paint schemes. Most specifically the armor on the Alchemists of Dirz Sentinals and such. It looks like a lot of white is used for most all highlights, no real pure colors ever used. Anyways...

Bad idea? This stuff seems like BIIZZZEEENATCH to mix. oh, and it was frozen.

Anyone using this stuff for modeling? It seems like its decentlycheap, available at more stores, and is able to be sanded. mayhaps??

Hello all, Just completed my move to Irvine, from CT. Wondering where all the good paint supply, miniature carrying, and sculpting stuff stores are at! Btw... for positioning miniatures... what do most ppl consider good as a temporary holding in place agent?

Im inking this base Im working on, and its hard to tell how well the thing looks with all the shiny ink... is it possible to dull cote it, then repaint if it looks like crap still?

Has anyone compared the 2 whites... I was told that the VJ White doesnt come out so chalky... My GW white for sure separates when mixed with other colors, and has chalky look to it... I\'m tempted to go out and get some VJ white if no one has compared the 2.

Well, Looking for some input\\ideas\\painting advice with this... I originally was shooting for a cracked earth type thing in the desert... I tried painting it up, and either did poorly or got too fed up. So now I tried some dry brushing on the cracked earth. I think the base might be too...

Just got a set of 3 Raphaels and a Series 7. Few questions... 2 of the Raph\'s had about 1 or 2 \"stray hairs\"... If I just pluck those out with my fingers, or tweezers... everything should be OK? It won\'t somehow impact the ferrule? Are the Raphael\'s good does anyone know? I\'ve heard...
