Hey, www.colonialgames.co.uk is now live! It has taken many months of work by many people, but we're up and running now. We are a UK based hobby retailer, and we are carrying an exciting range of miniatures as part of what we offer. Lines include Hasslefree, Hinchcliffe, Eolith, Avatars of...

Anyone going to Attack! \'09 in Divizes this weekend? It\'s a show with some great tournaments, inc. wh40k and various flavours of historical rulesets, some great traders (including me - see the table with the wolf logo) and some great people. pop along for an hour or two if you\'re around :)...

Hey all, So I\'ve spent the last months working with a wonderful team of people to set up www.colonialgames.co.uk. It currently has a pretty limited range I think it\'s fair to say, but there are some pretty cool minis, both historical and scifi/fantasy, and we\'ll be uploading more in earnest...

...well exposed brain anyway. Ok, so I\'m really quite pleased with this one, any thoughts you might have would be most appreciated :) Thanks in advance for all your help and encouragement. James(cybersquig) http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics13/img49e21f4ba6392.jpg votey link...

Hey, I may concievably be being a muppet, but does anyone know of somewhere someone has posted instructions on how to manipulate the background of an image in GIMP? I can do the basics now (crop, montage), but I\'d really like to be able to change the background to a single colour as well...

Any thoughts gratefully recieved for this little (very little) piece of fun! James http://www.coolminiornot.com/215367

oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. oh man. This guy is small! and I can\'t get a good photo of him either! No wonder, when he stands about 1/3 the size of a warmaster figure Is this the smallest production mini ever? it\'s gotta be - certainly...

yeah, but you still clicked on it, didn\'t you? ;) Anyway, here is my latest offering, a green of Valkia, the GW chaos special character. I\'d love to know what you all think, though bear in mind that she now has a detailed spear and a scenic base . Sadly I forgot to take pics of these before...

I may just not be searching right, but has anyone done a tutorial on wet blending? I\'ve got the hang of feathering, but I could really do with a step-by-step on wet blending too...any chance?

Hey all, Rather than confine myself to platoon britannica with this one I thought I\'d post a wip on here too... So this year I\'m going all out for GD, so all my wips are in the members section on the PB website. However, several things have happened, and as it won\'t be for the competition...

Hey all, A question regarding submissions if I may... I don\'t want to tread on any toes here, so I thought I\'d ask your advice before I did anything... I\'m looking through my gallery, and I can\'t help but feel that the scores that have been allocated to some of my entries aren\'t...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/202821 wow! I\'m honoured! :D I feel like I\'ve somehow arrived! marvellous Thankee sir, you\'ve made my day!

I was in halfords yesterday picking up some more primer for my models, and I was wondering - the rubbing compounds they sell...They appear to reactivate the surface of the paint to blend imperfections...does this work on minis? could you get a smoother blend by using a teensy bit of this on a...

what\'s happening? I\'m trying to register for the Platoon Britannica forum and this is coming up: \"This reCAPTCHA key isn\'t authorized for the given domain\" What do I do?? Also, anyone fancy referring me? :) James Griffin

Well well well I never did! I tried the windsor newton brushes after reading an interview with Darren Latham in which he said the eavy metal team use them (albeit the gw branded versions of the same thing) and it was great! I got a 3/0 brush for fine detail work and I was blown away by how...

any one know of some good examples of brushed velvet being painted convincingly onto a model? I\'d really like to give it a try (I\'ll stick a wip together to get feedback as I go along), but I don\'t know how to go about doing it. Currently I\'m leaning towards painting a swirly freehand over...

ok then, I\'ve made a decision. I\'ll be going to the French rather than the Spanish golden demon competition this year. I shall be driving down to it via the channel tunnel on the saturday night. I shall be staying in a hotel on the saturday night I shall be attending gamesday on the sunday...

Well well well, it seems my morph has caught an eye or two. Despite scoring a paltry low 7, posting him on here has led to something. I am sitting at my desk at work with a REAL MORPH by my right elbow. I\'ll try not to make any wild gestures in my excitement. It was loaned to me by someone...

I\'m just touching up my lotr single mini entry for GD and this year I am determined to put plaques on them (you know, \'space marine with hairdryer\', \'mating skinks\', \'diorama of middle earth\' that sort of thing). The thing is, this model is on a large (approx. 50-60mm diameter, 40mm...

I hope, sincerely, that you like this one, I haven\'t been able to wait for it to be oked i\'m so excited about getting him finished! http://www.coolminiornot.com/205488 This project is the culmination of much planning and preparation. It is constructed of a putty made from calcium carbonate...
