    Clean from the addiction or just pissed off?

    (positive or negative thinking) As you might have noticed I haven\'t been such an active member lately. (or possibly you haven\'t noticed) I still haven\'t got Internet connection of my own. I\'m pretty tired of things not working properly and technicians plugging things in on wrong...

    getting the fig matt (Hobby tip)

    okay after the 3d coat of matt varnish I realised that this thing won\'t become matt despite what it says on the label. So what I used was a gelbased acrylic matt glaze medium instead (system-3 colour) and it got perfectly flat in one coat. anybody else got experience with this? All the...

    1920\'s-1950\'s Woman with dress

    Okay I\'ve been at the lookout for a wellsculpted miniature that could work as a woman from the jazz era. I\'m thinking if they are any \"gangster\" lines or such. Or in worst case, female miniatures that could work some converting. But preferably I\'d want a 54mm or larger female with a...

    World Expo 2005 question

    I have recently become more and more interested in historical minis. It has really opened my eyes to some aspects of miniature painting. I feel I have long way to go.. :) Today I looked at the World Expo result page and came across a diaroma called \"The end of all dreams\" by Mike Blank. I am...

    The importance of ergonomics

    I have heard a few people that complain that their back/neck hurts when they paint for several hours. Mine used to do the same until I came up with a good idea. The idea is to get the mini closer to your face so you don\'t have to bend your neck. I don\'t have an adjustable chair so I filled a...

    top 10.. piuh

    Okay I am one of these blokes that goes to the top last 7 days to see the \"best\" painted minis lately. I don\'t know if it\'s in your interest, but as france GD have crowded the spots with 9.4 as the lowest scoring mini (!!!) I just wanted to point out some other 9+ minis that are being lost...

    UPDATED! Highborn Sorceress v2.0

    I\'m finally done. piuh. It\'s a gift to my girlfriend, and I really wanted to do my very best effort. The sculpt was a joy to paint, but some uneven places on the cast did make it a bit harder. I experimented with various techniques trying to push my painting into the next level. If you see...

    snow bases

    I started to mix my own snow today based on the snow article.. Unfortunately the baking soda reacts with both water and pva glue. It bubbles and dries very fast to small soft pebble-like no-good-to-use-as snow bits. If i mix more pva glue or water in it.. it just starts to bubble again. What...

    Brush Shoot-out

    http://mito0.20megsfree.com/brushes.html This is a link to a comparasion between a few brushes. W&N series 7, Raphael 8404 are amongst them. It doesn\'t give the final answer which to choose (and I doubt there is any), but it gave me some clues. And it also gave me the explanation why one of...

    Sculpting in scale?

    I have a question regarding sculpting. Are all metal minis sculpted in scale? I think for example on the LOTR minis.. some that are sculpted very portrait-like, which seems amazing at that scale. (I think it\'s so because of the casting technique.. but I\'m not sure) Thanks Sven

    Legio Ursus - Emperors Champion

    I\'ve finally completed my Emperors Champion. This is a concept model for my new chapter. They are called Legio Ursus right now (Ursus = bear in latin). Any other ideas? :) I tried out a number of techniques on this one, like NMM and paint on scratches. I\'m pretty satisfied with how it came...

    Watch Jacob Nielsen paint

    There\'s a link on http://www.jrn-works.dk/ to another site which features a short clip (approx 12mb) of Jacob painting his Custode Guard.. =) I do think he should consider joining Anonymous Brushlickers (I\'m still in the denial phase myself) ;)
