There are two types of people in the world. Those who prefer cake and those who prefer pie. :drunk: I\'m a pie man myself. Basic room temperature Apple Pie with vanilla ice cream can\'t be beat. That being said I\'m rather fond of Strawberry Rhubarb, Blueberry, Peach, and Sugar Pie as well...

I like to try to re-base many of my non-gaming minis (IE, no specific base required by game rules) but I find I\'m often wavering back and forth between wanting them on round and square bases (even hex sometimes). I\'m wondering what others prefer for their minis? I\'ve been on a round kick...

It started out as a desire to help my 4 year old (and to a lesser extent my 7 year old) get extra kinzcash for their webkinz. Next thing you know my wife wanted one, now I have one too. Some of those games are fun dammit even though I\'m about 3x the max intended age of the toy/game thingies...

I have a crap-load of minis (as I\'m sure a lot of us here do) and I have been desperately trying the past few weeks (OK, years) to figure out a way to put some structure and organization into my collection. Was hoping for some hints, tips, or suggestions as to what others do to keep their...

Recently bought myself some of the new D&D Miniature Game minis and was wondering how I could repaint them. Does stripping work on that soft mushy type plastic? Is it easier just to paint over what\'s there with or without primer? I know the sculpts and the quality of the minis really...

It was a difficult day today. My 7 year old son has finally \'found\' Star Wars and after much deliberation on my part I decided to hand over to him my entire collection of Star Wars Action Figures. It was a very difficult ordeal for me, quite torn I was but in the end I had to go with my...

I have D&D Core Books and some supplements short list as follows: Players Handbook Dungeon Masters Guide Monster Manual Monster Manual II Empire Gazetteer Sword and Fist (Guidebook to Fighters and Monks) The FOrge of Fury The Sunless Citadel Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil I think there...

OK, I posted my first YouTube video thingie. You can see it at the link below but first I gotta warn y\'all. It\'s a music video I made about 5 years ago and it\'s cute (in a family way) I think so if you don\'t wanna see a video of my kid then don\'t watch. I do like to think it\'s funny...

I\'d have to say I\'m a Collector first and foremost. I do tend to love owning minis for the sake of the mini. I\'d like to think of myself as an artist but I just don\'t, not because of my skill level but rather because painting is more of a relation thing. I use gamer as an excuse all the...

Today is a very special day. Time to wish happy Birthday to someone we all know and love... err respect... err umm tolerate... Me! 37 years ago today I came into this world with paint brush in hand. OK, I know this is some shameless self promotion but I have no shame so it\'s OK. :drunk:

I came across a complete anomaly the other night... A Canadian movie that was really quite good! If you havn\'t seen it I highly recommend \'Fido\', great zombie flick and it\'s freaking funny.

Havn\'t picked up a paint brush (at least a mini sized one) in almost a year now and I\'ve got painters block! I\'ve spent the last 4 nights \'tidying\' my painting area but now it\'s spotless. Went down there a bit ago and looked at my minis for over an hour and still couldn\'t decide one to...

A number of years ago GW released \"Christmas Marines\" (back in the late 80s if I remember right). I used to have them but foolishly got rid of them a long time ago. Now I want them again. As I recall there were two marines, one was holding a stein aloft while the other was staggering drunk...

To kick off the release of the Foundation Paints GW stores (at least across Canada) are holding \'events\' tomorrow, the biggie to be a speed painting contest. Was wondering who all was planning on participating and thought there should be a discussion on the topic. I for one plan on being in...

Trying to start a happier thread that isnt\' so argumentative (as we\'ve had a bunch recently). So I thought it might be nice to list some of our favourite Miniature artists on CMoN. Make the lsit as short or long as you like. My top 3 for style and function are (in no particular order)...

I used to enjoy birthdays, getting older was a good part of life. Then it all went to crap... Just got my first pair of prescription glasses today. In itself I suppose it wouldn\'t be so bad but when trying on frames the sales ladies started discussing them. One saying she didn\'t like the...

I\'ve been gone a few months, I\'m sure I was appropriatly missed (well probablly not but that\'s OK). Had some excitement while I was gone. For those of you who remember certain court drama (revisitable here). The sentencing went much better than I could have hoped. The arse got 1 year in...

A local shop posted a \'Going Out of Business\' sign in the window with the last day being Dec 23rd. So I went in last night and offered to buy all their minis at 40% off (I should have gone higher but the owner is a psuedo-friend of mine for some 18 years now). Anyway, the inventory wasn\'t...

Just bought me a new pickup (well actually it was 3 weeks ago but there are still less than 1000km on the odomoter and I just got it decaled last night) and wanted to show it off. I figured I\'m not the only one out there proud of their ride so hey... post yours too whether it\'s a 20yr old...

Was down cleaning up my basement (for those of you hearing those words before... it\'s a multi-month project) when it occured to me how many minis I have that are just sitting around and waiting, some for 20+ years... Unopened and unpainted goes something like this: 200+ Reaper Blisters 4...
