I bought a ticket to the US Games Day this year with the anticipation of being able to go, but unfortunately, my work schedule will not allow it this year. If anyone is interested, I'd be willing to part with it, for 20.00 which is 5.00 cheaper, plus shipping from GW. It's a fairly small ticket...

I just finished up the new JMD Orc Bust, and I want to add some wetness around certain areas of the face. What brush on gloss varnish would you recommend for spot wetness. I've been reading about Future but wondering how that compares to the "name brand" varieties. I'm planning on dullcoating...

I'm currently working with Mathieu Fontaine to instruct a two day workshop here in the Bay Area. The dates currently set are July 10th-11th from 9am-9pm on Saturday, and 9am-6pm on Sunday. Location will be at the Alamo GW store. Price currently is $110 Which is quite a deal IMO. We currently...

I'm going to be taking a character sculpting class here at work in a few months, but I was interested in getting started on my own. I was curious if anyone knew of any sites that had tutorials on sculpting like 1/3 scale busts. Basics like building the armature, etc, etc I looked at the articles...

Have any of you guys that use airbrushes had decent experiences pushing VMC through the airbrush? What do you guys use to thin down the paint with? I've read some use airbrush medium, some use just distilled water, and some use distilled water and Isopropyl alcohol. On another note, any...

I'm about to start painting a model with quite a bit of purple-violet and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice grey color in the VMC range to help knock back some of the saturation as all of the violets and purples in the VMC range are pretty bold in color. I tried to pick out a...

Ok so this might be a dumb question, but does vallejo colors, either VMC or VGC mix well with GW or P3 paints? For some reason I'm thinking that even though they are both acrylics, one is a vinyl base and the other one isn't.

So I started a new miniature last night, trying some new VMC paint that I got and already I'm having doubts. I've heard nothing but great things about this paint, but I found that the first color I put on my palette was separating only minutes after laying it down. I was using the VMC yellow...

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I didn't find an answer with the search function. I'm in the process of getting an airbrush,and I'm having some trouble on finding an airbrush compressor. I've decided on a Iwata HP-C as I really want to get back into traditional art so I...

I'm about to working on my second miniature, and I would like to really push my use of "proper" color harmonies, and I use the the word proper very loosely. I will be incorporating quite a bit of violet or purple as my main palette, but I'm kind of unsure on a few things. The biggest question...

So I went out and bought some Liquitex Slo-dri to use in my thinning mixture and I'm confused as which one I should have got. This is the one that I bought since the website said it's a fluid medium. http://www.liquitex.com/Products/fluidmedslodriblending.cfm I didn't realize there was an...

Now that I have my first mini completed I think I\'m getting addicted to this hobby. Other than the typical Golden Demon awards, are there any other major painting competitions that are reguraly held in the US?

Hello everyone. I\'ve been a long time lurker and admirer of everyone\'s work on this forum. I\'m starting a log that will hopefully help me grow as a mini painter. This is my first ever mini that I\'m working on for my chaos army. There are a couple of mistakes with the prep, but I\'ll learn...
