    Need help deconstructing

    Anyone have any experience un-assembling models? I just bought one of those Warhammer 40K space marine transport vehicles (forget what they are called - warthog, elephant, capibarra, something like that) cheap off ebay. Anywho, the prior owner did a pretty sad job of painting and in a couple...

    Advice for the single male

    Get a pet. My regular vet was out of something I needed so they sent me to a nearby vet to get some. I walked in and felt like I had walked into the Castle Anthrax (\"we are but twelve virgins all between the age of 16 and 20\"). The place was very well staffed with nothing but attractive young...

    Need help from a web savy guru

    Is there a way to find out what company hosts a website? In other words, if I have a problem with say a copyright infringer, I can ask the site host to pull the site. How do I locate the web host?

    They are available again!

    I was just checking out Iron Wind (rumor is they have a contest in the works) and discovered that many of the classics are available again, including Zoid the Pinhead Barbarian and Dwarf With Inferiority Complex - both of which can be seen in my gallery. I bought them when they came out in...

    I\'m sick to death of spray primers

    I can never get them to work right. Look at the close-up of the hand in this pic: Zoid the Pinhead Barbarian You can see the texture of the skin is rough, kind of like sandpaper. I always get that result when I use spray primer. I have used all sorts of brands, old cans, new cans. I usually...

    Your favorite NMM

    I\'m looking for examples of NMM done very well on rounded surfaces. Angled surfaces are easy (every sword/axe etc.) but round I\'m having a hard time with. So I thought I\'d ask you all. What are some of your favorite examples of NMM, involving a rounded surface? (CMON links preferred)

    Legion of the Damned query

    So I just picked up some old Legion of the Damned minis on ebay. I\'d like to include them in my army, but I have no idea how they are used game-wise. I read about them on Wikipedia, and the description sounds a bit complex for integrating them, but the iconography on the sculpt is nice and...

    Toy Store Dragon

    I was in a toy store this weekend, and as usual I went to look over the medieval toys. There are some very nice figures out. There\'s a line by Papo which I would not recommend to this group for repainting or display, but would be decent for kids to play with. (Schleich makes stuff I would...

    GameMastery

    Any of you heard of these guys? I just came across one set on eBay and as I\'d never heard of them I thought I\'d look them up. They seem to have some very nice sculpts. If you play RPGs the cost is probably pretty good for what you get. They are just a tad high for miniatures alone...

    Do People Actually Fall For This?

    This is totally un-mini related, but you all are my extended circle of friends and I like to gab. I got this email and I just couldn\'t believe people actually fall for this stuff: I\'m not a graduate of the English legal system, but I\'m pretty sure spelling is required. *what is a...

    How Much Paint do You Own?

    Seeing people\'s painting areas, I noticed a lot of paint. Having recently counted my own, I know that I have around 145 pots of paint. I say around because I counted 140 but I know some were awol at the time having been lent to my wife who managed to leave them behind at a model horse show...

    English is a foreign language

    I was reading a thread where someone said he \"kissed off\" his girlfriend. In American that would mean to ignore her or chuck her aside for somethin else. What are some of the more interesting regional variations on the English language? A common example is biscuits: UK = flat, sugarry wafers...
