This is going to be of no interest to anyone whatsoever but I\'m gonna post it anyway so :P My wife (and sometimes my son and I) is/are part of a local charity group that tries to bring together the different cultural and ethnic groups in Eastbourne to promote understanding, celebrate diversity...

Ok, so I thought that as I\'m approaching my Freakdom I\'d better prove that I\'ve been doing something other than hanging out in the forums all day every day. In fact, last week I managed a trip to London and finally got round to visiting Orc\'s Nest (excellent shop) where, after staring...

I\'m not really a follower of WH40K but am intrigued by constant references to the dark secrets and curses of the SPace Marine chapters. I seem to remember that Blood Angels have something to do with vampires and I guess Space Wolves must be linked to werewolves(?) but what are the aother...

Ok, I know we\'ve had a lot of music related threads but here\'s another one, so there :P We were discussing this year\'s Comic Relief record being a cover of Walk This Way by CMON\'s favourites Girls Aloud and the Sugababes. Then someone at the office recommended searching for the Hayseed...

I\'ve recently discovered my local ModelZone and their stock of Tamiya Paints. After a quick search of the forums I found that some of you rave about the \"clear red\", \"smoke\" and other bits so I had to try them. I also got some pots of other things that I\'ve not used before, namely: - Flat...

No, we haven\'t started playing poker in the office as well as darts... yet ;) However, we\'ve just had the first \"get well soon\" card of the year come round for signing and it reminded me of how I can never think of anything new/funny/vaguely interesting to write in these things. So...

Hi all, just a couple of quick dumb questions... I have some paints (they happen to be GW but let\'s not go there...) that are very watery. Mainly this affects the Graveyard Earth, Desert Yellow and Kommando Khaki which just happen to be ones that I really want to use well. Now, I was wondering...

Come on then you lot - what have you all resolved to do to make the world a better place for 2007? Personally my resolutions include:- 1. Finding more painting time 2. Actually finishing some minis 3. Bring about World Peace ... I\'m aiming to achieve any two of those three ;)

Well, continuing the Christmassy theme that\'s been arising, just thought some of us might like to discuss our views on Christmas songs. It seems to me that despite Christmas hitting the shops in August as usual this year, the radio has been holding back on the Christmas music until quite late...

Ok, I know that a lot of us (me included) say that scores and rankings are not as important as comments and feedback etc but I got very excited this morning when I logged in and found that I have actually made the top 3,000 for the first time ever :bouncy: How sad am I? You can rate from 1 - 10...

I\'ve got myself a two and half week painting window while my wife and baby are away in Poland so I can get around to some proper projects etc. Part of this will be my first attempts at scenic bases and dioramas. In preparation for this I went to my local GW store on Saturday morning and...

Hi all, I\'ve just voted for my 10,000th submission here on CMON which got me thinking... How many votes have you guys cast? Is 10,000 really as many as it sounds as I guess some of you old-timers (you know who you are) must be inventing new numbers to keep track of your votes by now :D Also...

Have we all seen the great TV exposure that CMON is getting thanks to those nice folk\'s at Vauxhall/Opel? full advert here It seems that the Corsa is the new mini ;) I just hope that Chern is getting his cut from these ad\'s.

Ok, many years ago I owned an ogre mini from the Citadel monsters boxed set but had to sell it because someone offered me money. I missed that mini and have recently managed to find a replacement thanks to my other second home - Ebay. Unfortunately, I was too lazy and impatient to strip it and...

Does anyone have any good advice (or knowledge of a previous discussion) about painting tiger stripes? I\'m working on a classic citadel ogre at the moment and, on a whim, painted his fur jacket as tiger fur. At the moment it\'s quite basic (vermin brown/snakebite leather base, chestnut/brown...

According to BBC news scientists have managed to build an invisibility cloak. For now it only works with radar and microwave technology (not sure why anyone would want to turn their microwave invisible???) but the theory is apparently expandable to optical invisibility as the technology...

Following the outstanding success of pimping my Mordheim minis I\'m using my 100th post (byebye \"Junior\") to bring you this - Shagrat (I know it\'s childish but I still snigger at that name lol ) This is an older job and was my first conversion, adventurously replacing an arm (I know, crazy...

Hi everyone, I posted a couple of minis today Mordheim Elf Mage and Aenur Sword of Twilight As usual, the picture quality is pretty bad but I really would like some feedback, comments and suggestions on what to do to improve them (painting-wise). Although it probably doesn\'t show that well...

I\'m guessing this has been done to death (and then probably done a bit more) but I\'m having trouble finding it through the search facility... I\'m trying to find out what criteria people use to vote and in particular, what influence (if any) is held by the titles, descriptions and current...
