My friends and coworkers all bought copies of the World of Warcraft expansion \"Burning Crusade\" today. I\'m sure it will decimate the local tabletop gaming for a while. Nearly 8 million subscribers pay well over $1B yearly to pay this game. We need them to give away a mini with their next...

Does anyone know how to tint clear plastic vehicle canopies? I\'ve considered glosscoat with a little ink, but I\'m afraid it will make the plastic too hard to see through. Anyone?

(Inspired by Zaphod\'s and Jabberwocky\'s threads.) How many of you all have given painted minis as gifts for Christmas, birthdays, etc.? Were they well received? Is it something you would do again? Would you give to someone who wasn\'t a mini aficionado? I\'ve considered doing it, but...

I went to see Monty Python\'s Spamalot in Detroit last night. I\'m glad that I didn\'t read the program during the show, because act II had a lot of unexpected stuff that wouldn\'t have been quite so surprising if I had known the song names / locations. Overall, I enjoyed the show quite a bit...

(This is a result of last night\'s Eldar fun.) Discovery: Black ink + future wash leads to darker crevices and lighter peaks. (high contrast) Black paint + future wash leads to a fairly evenly pigmented model. (low contrast) Blue ink + future wash leads to a fairly evenly pigmented model. (low...

Another commission job. This time it\'s an Eldar army box in 3-4 weeks. Ready.....go! Here we see the box o\' Eldary goodness. First 4 guardians. I can\'t seem to just assemble plastic troops, so the leader guy got a simple arm conversion so he\'d look cooler. ATTN! Does anyone know...

I posted a while ago about using JavaScript to make a thumbnail list and large picture viewer in an ebay auction without having to pay eBay money for each image. Some people requested a link when I have an auction running using that technique and I do currently, so..... Auction using...

Yeah, don\'t even ask what I was thinking. I was on travel for work and brought my paints and a few minis. This was the result. There\'s certainly a lot to do. The original concept was a deep purple for the cloak to make him look stealthy and shadowed. It just came out \"pimp\" so I went...

LGS has a 20% off sale last night, so I went and picked up a couple blisters. Here is one of them... Her face seemed awfully wide and flat as I basecoated, but I couldn\'t figure out why that \"look\" was familiar. After outlinging the eyes, she took on a serious anime look, so I just went...

Get this: http://www.forbes.com/business/commerce/feeds/ap/2006/10/19/ap3105018.html They are testing the waters, so to speak... soon the real carnage will begin.

I have been painting so many things for so many people lately that I haven\'t painted anything for myself since May! Since I\'ve been playing Warmachine/Hordes on a nearly weekly basis with friends, I\'d figure I\'d indulge one of my warcasters on a quickie paint job while waiting for Tau...

Another commission job.... When asked what weapon build the customer wants, the response was \"Whatever will win the most.\" :o Fire warriors go first.

Here\'s one I\'m painting for Aether Drip studio. The original pose has the cannon pointing downward, so there was some pinning and remolding of skin and muscle around the gun arm. Titans don\'t look particularly contemplative, so I thought having his tongue sneaking out while aiming would...

I can\'t believe I didn\'t do a WIP log for the Circle Orboros box I just painted..... Anyway, this is a commission piece. I had never read anything about LotD before this, so the short story is this: they are presumably the \"Fire Hawks\" chapter that got lost in the warp in the year...

For the adventurous ebay seller... use this technique to post a large picture and a gallery of thumbnail pictures that change the large pic when clicked. Requirements: 1. no fear of simple html 2. a photobucket account 3. the ability to resize images so that multiple images have the same size...

Here\'s what I\'ve been puzzling over for a few days... http://www.coolminiornot.com/128599 Auction link I got this fellow on Wednesday 7/19, and was determined to get him painted in a reasonable time frame. I think he\'s the first Vilmon posted on CMON! I wasn\'t around early in the...

Just started Vilmon. I think Werner Klocke is going to be the death of me. There are places on that model that are hard to prime, let along paint. And it must be partially painted before assembly if you want to reach everything. Yikes. Just trying to find that scarlet color. Oddly enough...

I figure I\'ll jump on the wip bandwagon. After night one of painting this fellow.... Leather looks how I wanted it to look. Fur in the back will get a darker shade right in the deep creases. Gray areas with clumsy highlights will get a gray glaze to smooth it out a bit.

Just pimping my latest... http://coolminiornot.com/127479 Okay, so it\'s really a GW Dwarf Thane on an oathstone that I did on commission. :D For the life of me I couldn\'t get him to stand quite flat on the rock, but it\'s one of those details that shows up in the photo far more than in real...

Well, third mini of the \"Send the Howells to Camp\" series is on the block. Black Templar Sergeant Obligatory Auction Link The axe is supposed to look like one of those globes where you touch the outside and an electrical arc forms from the middle to your finger. I really tried to make the...
