Hiya folks. I've been a big fan of a game called Star Mogul for quite a few years. The game and it's quirky miniatures caught my attention, and I always hoped for a bit more exposure so people could share my interest. Anyhow, the game and it's minis have been sold to Mega Minis, and they've...

Food threads are always fun... What does your local or regional area offer as a 'specialty'? My part of the world seems to favor the Tenderlion Sandwich. A slice of pork tenderlion, pounded flat, breaded, deep fried and served as a delicious sandwich (i like ketchup, mustard, onions and...

I swear earlier today there was a thread about erotic minis... Maybe I was just Daydreaming, luckily a dry one...:rotfl:

Note that this isn't about improving your painting per se.... But, just curious to know other causes of a lower-ish score. It's not really a rant about our scoring system either. Here's my obstacles 1. Terrible photography 2. I tend to gravitate towards 'weird' miniatures. (ie they aren't...

I noticed the CMoN shop is carrying these now: http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/tools-and-misc/rubber-tip-tools-set.html They are very similar (at least in looks) to the set of Color Shapers I have. While I really like the Color Shapers to help with smoothing of milliput, I've noticed on...

I guess I fall into an old fogie as far as cell phones go. I think it was back in about 2000 or so, when I first noticed this behavior. A guy I worked with always had his cell phone, and constantly had a stream of calls from his personal life. He HAD to be connected at all times with his...

A line that just keeps getting better.... http://www.lead-adventure.com/ Really love the look of this stuff.

Most, if not all the models I'm working on now are 'Modern', and I'd like the bases to reflect that. I'm tired of the sand/grass models, as most of these minis wouldn't be out standing in a random field. So, I'm looking for some techniques that are still simple, but give effective...

For my 15,000th post, I thought I'd start a WiP Log of my newest project. It'll most likely be slow going, and no pictures yet, but this is what I'm doing, Using KNIGHT MODELS excellent Marvel Heroes: So, far I've gotten Captain America, and the HULK. Thor is on the way, still looking...

We've entered the year of the Rabbit. I was born in 1968, so that was the Year of the Monkey. People born in the year of the Monkey are the 'erractic genuises' of the cycle. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. What animal sign were you born under...

I'm still surprised by the lack of consistancy with Reapers releases. This for instance is quirky, well sculpted and just fun: Whereas this one (at least in my opinion) is poorly done at best, and unfinished at worst PLUS because it's so big, it's 20 bucks! Possibly it's just a...

Yeah...so, I've got a couple of conversions I'm working on, but need to change the hair-do. I'm not really sure where to start with hair. The first is a female, I want longish, thin hair And then also a very spiky medium cut mans hair cut? Any suggestions?

It's a term that is bandied around quite a bit in regards to sculpting and casting. I've never truly grasped what it means. Can anyone explain it to me in terms my feeble mind can comprehend? Pictures would be nice!

I was curious to know what others thought of certain situations. In discussing 'intellectual property'. Is it always wrong for a company/sculptor to use other's IP (without permission)? I know there has been talk around the various forums of how IP theft seems to be frowned upon. But...

I assembled a big bunch of different minis over the last couple weeks, but just hadn't gotten around to do some of the 'gap filling' that they needed before priming them. So, I sit down with a bunch of minis, and grab my 'sculpting box'. It's got all the little putties, and tools I like to...

Kinda a cool honor for such an iconic man. Just love that old guy! http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/01/04/stan-lee-gets-a-star-in-hollywood-he-is-that-american-dream-we-all-look-for/

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/48537/ Today (Jan 3) was Mr Tolkien birthday, and a worldwide toast is scheduled for 9pm local time. Here's to you, Professor! Thank you for helping me make it through my formative years by allowing me to escape into middle earth.

Well...I suppose there are worse things...but yesterday I broke down and bought myself a pair of 'magnifying' readers glasses. I was really having trouble focusing on miniatures when painting. This has really helped. What a drag it is, getting old.

This submission by Nakatan has generated ALOT of polarizing comments. I thought it would be appropriate to have a discussion about it. http://www.coolminiornot.com/266249 So, what do you think? Too brutal?

Kind of a symbol of my beloved Vikings season, but still a cool video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_uscBJn0p0 Minneapolis had record snow falls, and the poor roof just couldn't take it. So, the game that was scheduled for later that day got postponed, and MOVED to Detroit. Football...
