    Joan of Arc, please comment

    Well, I\'m finally going to try to sell something on ebay and would like some opinions of it. Joan of Arc is my latest completed mini. That\'s the title she came with as part of a series of warrior women/gods by Sandra Garrity. I\'d really appreciate comments on her since it\'s the first piece...

    help.....Static Grass

    Okay, I\'m trying to base game pieces so I bought static grass. Trouble is it doesn\'t come with instructions. So here\'s a very basic question. How do I apply static grass? I tried one guy so far by brushing PVA onto the base then pouring SG over him, turning him upside down and tapping the...

    Primer question of EPIC proportions

    Okay, I think I finally came up with a color scheme that will work for me, and in a week finals are over so I can start painting again. Here\'s my question: I have some epic space marines to paint. Should I clip them off the sprues before priming or can I spray primer on the sprues and clip...

    Skaven in a rat trap!

    I know I\'m giving someone else free add space, but there is a figure in this set on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3128936688&category=1183 that could pass for a skaven in a trap, and that\'s so funny to me I wish I\'d thought of it. Oh, it predates \"skaven\" so...

    shaped paint brushes

    Here\'s a question: I have a painting task that I think would be much easier with a flat brush maybe 1mm across instead of a pointed brush. I see these brushes in art stores but they usually start at 1/8 inch (~3.2mm) and get bigger. I was wondering if it would work to cut one down to the...

    Who Works for GW Is there anyone using this site who works for GW?? If not, is there anyone who used to work for GW?? Here\'s why I want to know. I\'m a law student and it occurred to me that I might want to connect my hobby in some way to my coming profession. So I thought I\'d talk to some...

    contests

    A while back one of the forum threads discussed creating another contest (I think it was Axebone discussing sponsoring one) and someone listed a bunch of on-line painting contests. I can\'t for the life of me find that so would someone mind posting a list of all the on-line comptetitions you...

    Help preping and painting Eldar

    I just got some Eldar models cheap for the fun of painting them. Trouble is I don\'t know what the heck they carry. I\'ve been able to figure out one item is called a \"web of skulls\" and another a \"melta gun\". Also got a Warpspider exarch. I was wondering in game terms how these weapons...

    Gamesday Baltimore

    I was just wondering if anyone here was going to be at Gamesday in Baltimore this May. I\'ve never been to a convention, but now live in Maryland so thought I might drive up for a day. I\'d be far more likely if I knew some of you would be there and I could see some of your stuff in person.

    Please check out my \"High\" Elves.

    I\'ve heard rumors of a 2- or 3- color rule. I say Fa to that! Looking at my color wheel, unable to pick a color, I went with all 6! Now I have finally come up with an original uniform for a high elf army! Please check it out at http://www.coolminiornot.com/index.php?id=19248&c=all&m= Thanks...

    LOTR paints

    If anyone has bought them, are the paints that come in the LOTR paint set the same as the regular GW paints? What quantities are they in? The picture on the box looks like much smaller containers.

    Painting Lair

    I was reading in a forum thread that I can\'t find right now. Someone was complaining about packrep posting a photo not of a mini but of his/her workspace. Knowing I will offend whoever that was:P I posted mine too. I think it\'s a fun idea to see where everyone works. Mine still says it is...

    Help with some Old Chaos Space Marines

    I have 2 old chaos marine figures I bought back when I bought my beakies. (I intended them for a diorama which might still happen some day:D) Thing is I have never had anything to do with 40K chaos and don\'t know anyone who plays, so I\'m kind of at a loss what to do with them. Browsing here...

    filling gaps

    I was wondering what folks use to fill the gaps in slotta bases. I\'m pretty new to painting GW, and I\'m cutting my teeth on some old ones that still have bases with both horizontal and diagonal slots. So, I find myself with two big holes in the base. I mixed up some brown stuff and tried to...

    CMON prize

    Wow, is that the prize for the contest or the subject for the next contest or both?? Either way I\'m already chomping at the bit to get her. Congratulations to Steve on a beautiful job. IMHO she is way better than Freya was. Will she be the same size? or more in line with 25/28mm?:bouncy:

    I finished my CMON entry!

    It took me a while, but I finally finished my CMON entry. I hope many people will comment. This was quite an exercise in patience. I would paint a tiny area dark yellow, then have to wait an hour to paint a tinier area of lighter yellow etc. My biggest mistake was timing. I was nervous...
