    1:4 Dwarf bust WIP (Huge images, I'm really sorry. :( )

    This is my first attempt at ever sculpting ANYTHING. I'm using Super Sculpey and didn't expect things to turn out so good, so I didn't think about posting here until I got to the point of paint. In case I forget to update, here, this is the Imgur gallery with progress pictures...

    Horde of 54mm zombies / aliens / sci-fi soldiers?

    On a surprise trip to Miniature Market, this last weekend (I was in St. Louis, and just happened to notice it on the map when I looked for game stores near my hotel (it wasn't, but I made the trip)), I picked up Belladonna by Reaper. Her pose suggests that a lot of stuff is happening around her...

    Skin-hairline-hair transition

    I'm about to tackle my first larger-scale model (it's not REALLY larger scale -- it's a Storm Giant from Reaper, so it's colossal at 25mm), and one thing that I've never been able to get right is the transition between skin and hair. On smaller models, I don't let it bug me, but as the scale...

    How do you sand the hard-to-reach places?

    Just as the title says, how do you sand those hard-to-reach places? I ended up with a few gaps (oh, Wyrd, why do you have to put your glue points in biceps and forearms?!), which I filled with Liquid Green Stuff -- I've had no problem sanding it off the outside of the model, but there are...

    Painting carpet

    Pic for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51QvGiPkOlQ So, I'm painting a crew for Malifaux that has carpets over hardwood flooring for bases (damnit, I should have taken a pic this morning)... I'm wondering how to paint carpet like the flying carpet above. Virtually every search I've...

    Matney's WIP Thread (Obviously pic heavy)

    I figure I might as well start a WIP thread to document my progress -- seems like everyone else is doing it. :p A bit of history, if you're interested.. I started playing D&D in 1996 and immediately started painting my own miniatures. I did that pretty solidly until 1999 or so, then I...

    Shading: Wash alternatives?

    So, I've been working on a 40k army (my first), and I was attempting to do a quick "base coat -> wash -> highlight" paint job (because I don't really feel like having a half-painted army). Base coating went fine, but when I got to my wash, I overdid it -- pooling everywhere, tide lines, the...

    Using premade bases as start for custom base

    Hey, folks. Long time lurker, first time poster... Usually, Google doesn't prove me wrong, so I don't have to ask questions. Today, however, I'm not that lucky. I've been looking at all the awesome premade resin bases from the various vendors, and I was wondering if there are any tutorials...
