I don\'t know what to make of this article. Part of me says that people should wear what they want; the other part of me thought sticking it to the man was in fashion these days, not dressing like him.

From my dad:

I recently joined a couple of new forums, and while I enjoy the info found at them, I have to admit that I highly prefer the moderators\' style here over anywhere else. On the rare occasion that I\'ve seen them step in, it isn\'t ham-handed like in other places. Then I saw a great quote from...

I just got the Flyleaf CD for my birthday, and was surprised to find that a lot of people at the FLGS knew about them. I\'d heard them on Christian radio, and didn\'t know they had any mainstream appeal. Anyone here a fan? Where are you from?

So I put the new 40k Valkyrie together last night for a local store tourney, and my roommate wanted to see how many models would really fit into it. We managed, with the heavy bolter sponsons popped out the doors, 4 cadians or 5 ratlings. We don\'t really have a problem with this, but found it...

So I have about 2000 points of Witch Hunters, and the artist in me is getting a bit bored. I love the Kasrkin figs, but thirty of them is plenty for me. I really like the Captain Lysander model for the SMs, so I got the idea that it would be cool to have elements of the Imperial Fists\' 1st...

A woman died from road rage. Amazing. Story here.

Okay, I know that our hobby is largely a hobby of fantasy and imagination. And I know that artists, sculptors in particular, have had a long history of rendering nude or nearly nude bodies as art. But when and why did our toy models of women start looking like they stepped out of a lingerie...

Is it me, or have sculpts from many companies begun to be rather pedestrian? Reaper hasn\'t inspired me with anything in over a year (side question: has Werner Klocke stopped sculpting for them?). I used to get all their new releases, but their latest stuff seems to be inspired by their 80\'s...

Just curious, how long does it take for an \'Eavy Metal figure to get painted? I\'m curious both about rank and file minis, as well as characters.

Dragonsreach brought up an amusing point in another thread: if you work in the right industry, you know that people will complain about almost anything. Since I didn\'t feel like hijacking that thread, I thought these folks could share what they\'ve heard right here. My contribution? I...

Has anyone, upon finding themselves painting a sizable space ork force, ever have the sudden urge to shoot themselves for taking on such a massive and boring undertaking?

As inevitably happens, I\'ve run into a painting block once again. I\'ve been painting non-stop for 6 months (I\'m on an extended medical leave) and I\'ve finally hit that point where nothing in my cabinet really appeals to me again. When I get like this, I usually find something different...

My wife showed me this on her favorite forum. I\'ll write a word, and then you post the FIRST word that comes to mind. Then the next poster posts what that new word brings up and so on. It works best if you don\'t explain your choice. So, for a apropos beginning ... Mini

I had a funny little realization today about my figure collection: I\'ve painted hundreds of figures over the years, and have done some really good and some really bad work, but I have not actually stopped and said \"this is my favorite.\" When I looked, I realized that my favorite was a...

So I caught this nasty sinus infection from my wife, and I can\'t paint (or do anything more than sit at the computer), so I need your guys\' help. Can you guys give me links to funny or bizarre web sites that I can visit? The more bizarre, the better. Thanks in advance!

The capital punishment thread got me down, so I\'m going to take Donna\'s advice and be silly. I\'ve listed my top five favorite comedians to battle to the death in the pit of a stand-up lounge. Vote for your favorite, and may the best comedian...well, may the best comedian come out alive...

When I was in college, I practiced Karate for a couple of years. I finally left after having a conversation with my sensei. I had achieved orange belt status (three promotions), and he said that - in his opinion - there was no situation that I could not already kick and punch my way out of. I...

I\'m looking to convert a Phoenix Icons stargate mini to be one of the named characters in the show - specifically Rak\'nor, a black-skinned Jaffa with a scar on his forehead. Problem is, I have no idea how to sculpt really curly hair at 28mm scale (or any scale, for that matter). Can someone...
