I\'ve finally got some new ones up. Comments with honest critique are very welcome. I\'m starting to work on some entries for convention contests, so I\'m looking to identify and attack my weak areas. I paint me In a moment of nostalgia I finally painted up a new version of my old D&D character...

I\'ve got a miniature I\'d like to use for something, and while it\'s close to what I need, it\'s not dead-on. Mainly the problem is it has extra bits that should be removed - sheaths, belt pouches, that sort of thing. I\'m not very practiced at altering or converting minis. I\'ve used...

A warning on the potential pitfalls of giving too many minis to your kids to paint - http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/1991239#1991239

Just thought I\'d pass this technique for making monsters along to anyone who might be interested.

The online flyer for HobbyTown\'s post-Christmas sale includes a marked down Optivisor with free extra magnifier gizmo. Just thought I\'d mention in case anyone was looking to buy one of these locally

I\'ve just returned from a day of eye examination and ordering new glasses. This included admitting that my near vision is not what it once was, and deciding to try bifocals. While my problems as yet are fairly mild, it was made pretty clear to me that I\'m just going to go on getting older and...

Here\'s my latest few minis. Most of them were done for the Iron Painter contest running over at Wyrd Games. It\'s a fun and challenging contest, which I like to enter when I can because it gives me a push to put into practice some of the techniques that I\'ve studied for a while but always put...

When pouring resin, people build containers to hold the product until it sets. I\'ve seen a few examples of this for square bases with containers made from styrene and so on. I\'m considering something that would be a freestanding non-square shape. Would forming it from a piece of plasticene...

I\'ve added what I\'ve painted for the past few months to my gallery, and would be happy for any feedback or votes people might like to offer! Lilith of Ptolus This is an experiment based on some classes taken with Jeremie Bonamant Teboul (bragon) at Gen Con. Baiting the Trap - Not work safe...

Hi all. I\'ve seen people come up with some pretty good suggestions when folks are looking for a certain kind of miniature, so I thought I\'d give it a try. I\'m looking for a female figure that looks shocked or surprised. Hopefully with a hand raised to/toward her face and mouth open. I\'d...

I was trying to come up with a sort of \'a this, a that and the other walk into a bar\' joke, but nothing comes to mind. Maybe next time. This time, just a list of links to my recently posted minis. Hasslefree Concubine - Femme Fatale II winner, not work safe Wizard vignette Magda the Dancer -...

Some time in the past few months or so I recall seeing a short tutorial on making stone tile type bases by scoring the tiles into the surface of a basic base. I thought it was a CMON tutorial, but I can\'t seem to find it there or in my bookmarks. Does anyone out there remember this and have a...

I\'ve been very lax about updating my stuff on CMON, but I\'ve finally gotten off my duff and posted some things. Most of these are entries to the Iron Painter contest over at Wyrd. After five very gruelling rounds, I had the surprising pleasure of becoming the Season Two Iron Painter champion...

Very accurate for me, other than the cat should be on the table causing a lot more trouble. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/139908

Is it possible to use Sculpey on plastic and bake it? I\'m assuming the plastic would melt, but I figured I\'d go ahead and ask if anyone knows. I\'d like to do some sculpting for a base, and do it right ON the base if possible.

I know, everyone\'s sick to death of fiannas. But this one has more realistic proportions than you usually see.

Hi all. I thought I\'d toss my latest miniature out for comments/votes. I was really trying to work hard on my NMM, and also experimenting with a much paler skin colour than I usually use. Eriu, Greatsword Champion Thanks for taking the time to look!

Just wondering if anyone\'s viewed this DVD by Sascha Herm, a GD winner from 2002, although it looks like his main interest is historical army painting.

I\'m not sure we have many, if any, fans of Adiken (makers of Adikolor paints/brushes, a mini line, a mini strategy game Nin-Gonost), but in the event anyone is interested, it sounds as if the company is having a lot of problems. The until recently US rep summarizes some of them here (along with...
