Hi everybody! Been a long time* since I've been on CMoN so thought I'd pop by and say hello :D I've still been painting during the past few years and actually got into the gaming side of things a little more, so done a bit more in the way of armies rather than one off pieces. Changed jobs...

Hi All, Not been about on here for an age, getting a new job this time last year (with a lot more responsibility) has meant that spare time to browse the forum has vanished in a puff of smoke :( I've thankfully been getting odd bits of painting done and have now managed to wrangle finishing a...

Been absolutely snowed under with work - 12 hours away from home each day is a killer. However I have been painting a lot when I get home to unwind :). I've managed to update my blog a couple of times but not got round to getting on here (very remiss of me). My current project is a kit...

Hi all, I've finally found a few minutes to hop back onto the forums, so thought I'd say hi :) I never thought my new job would have quite the impact on my life as it has done! I'm up at 6:15am, out the house at 6:55 and not home again until after 6:30pm. Early starts have meant earlier to...

Although I'm not the most vocal of posters on here, I'm going to be a bit quieter on here from Monday. I'm starting a new job (last day at my current employer today) and being a larger company actually monitor the internet usage and have a clause in their Terms and Conditions that means I'm...

I'm sure I've seen this answered previously, but my search-fu is currently lacking :( I want to paint the bases of my Space Wolves to look glacier/ice like (topped off with snow effect) as I think a nice vibrant blue/green/white base will nicely offset the very grey-heavy miniature. This type...

Because it's always good to try new things and push yourself, I've recently purchased a 1:10 Templar Knight bust from Young Miniatures (the one that looks like Sean Connery), with the intention to paint it up as a present for my Mum's birthday (2 months away - she's a huge Connery fan). Now...

I don't often condone online petitions - there are a plethora of ones that exist for the sake of moaning, but this one has been gaining popularity and is being backed by people within our community. Basically the Royal Mail have decided that it's a sensible idea to implement a restriction on...

This has been milling round in my head yesterday, so I thought I'd pop up a post on it. In recent memory (i.e. last couple of years or so), what (if any) paint jobs have you found either inspirational or pushed miniature painting in a new direction? For example, the two that do come to mind...

Bit of an odd question. I've started to experiment with Vallejo Air Surface Primers and really liking how they're working for me. However I'm finding that they're a complete mare to clean out of the airbrush - moreso than any other paint I've put through it. Is there a special trick for...

Bit of a weird question really. I've just realised that I'm starting to get a bit of a writers lump on my finger from where I hold a paint brush. On a positive it's good I'm doing enough painting, but I don't really want it... I've done a bit of reading up and people suggest to use one of...

I get a burst of keen as the afternoon progresses and really fancy doing a bit of painting this weekend... but I'm off with the girlfriend to see her parents in Wales :bulgy-eyes:

I've been holding off putting up this WIP as progress has been monumentally slow due to various real life commitments. However as the squad is now in the last phases of creation I thought it was worth putting up :) I've actually enjoyed painting these miniatures more than anything in a long...

Bit of an odd question but have Vallejo stopped producing their kolinsky sable brushes? My brother's after buying some more and I can't seem to find them for love nor money (only looking within the UK).

Just spotted this in my inbox: https://www.freelancer.com/contest/contest.php?project_id=12824&utm_campaign=newsletter_campaign&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter_ads&utm_content=freelancer Basically anybody who can design 3d models can enter - it's years since I've done any 3d work so I'm...

I've finally managed to get round to doing the testers for my FW Death Guard army. Unfortunately I could only find two plastic marines that I could use for doing the tests, so I had to put all of my experiments on them :) These are fairly rough piece for a tabletop standard army, so I know...

Hi all, I'm in the process of coding an HTML5 interactive web app "magazine/publication" and could do with some testers for it. Basically anybody who has access to some kind of computer device (laptop, tablet, etc) and an internet connection. I'm trying to get as many different combinations...

A thought just occurred to me. I know it would be a mammoth amount of work but one of the biggest irritations of most people, happens in the Painting & Modelling forum where a question is asked that has been asked multiple times before. Although the question does get answered, the answers...

I've come across a very specific problem regarding displaying an image in Chrome on an Apple Mac but I don't have access to a Mac to do any tests. The page works in Chrome on a pc without any issues at all and Safari/IE on a Mac is also fine so I'm really perplexed!

Anybody else struggle when asked for a list of things they want for Christmas? Especially when you're asked for two (one for your family and the other for your other half). Trying to come up with bits that aren't too specialised or expensive and trying not to just put down a list of web urls :s
