Okay so I saw a post on the CMoN boards for a new fig from a small company out of Poland Called MaxMini. The fig looked awesome, and I had to have it. I felt obliged to act fast because as many have pointed out the fig bears an INCREDIBLE likeness to some GW artwork. I am not getting into any...

Hey guys, I\'ve gotten some good tips and hints on my latest work and the one comment I keep hearing is to \"Bring the Highlights\" on the metal\'s up. So far I\'ve been using going from a 1:1 Boltgun Metal/Black base (I call this Choas Metal! I totally made up the name and recipe myself....)...

Okay, so as part of another thread it sort of got on the topic of ray-tracing. The dummies guide to ray-tracing (as far as I can make out) is that it\'s a computers way of calculating highlights off an object and display the most reflective parts into a new image? Is that Correct? ....Could a...

I\'m gonna take a stab at this dude. He\'s just screamin\' out to represent Grom the Paunch from Warhammer so he\'s destined to hit the table and squish some elves eventually. But in the mean time I plan on taking a little extra time on him. This will represent me reaching for the stars! I...

Hey, I built this Death Korps of Krieg dude a little while ago. He was the last one i assembled out of a 10 man squad, and I was short on a nice mix of arms and other excuses but, DAMN! What the hell was I thinking? What is this guys story? Rifle slung and apparently running at the enemy with...

Hey, can anyone tell me if Green Stuff needs air to cure? If I coat a base in PVA glue and sand immediately after I put the green stuff on will the green stuff cure at all, be delayed, or no effect? Thanks to anyone who can answer.

Hey, can someone answer this for me.... I thought that paid up members (Me baby!) got a special feature in which they do not get the same fig pop up more than once on the voting screen while browsing. I keep getting repeats. This is of course not the end of the world except that I do keep...

I\'m painting a dwarf army and I am really in a rut. I\'ve been doing beards for one way for many years (Drybrush) but after picking up some tips and improving my work (I think) I am less than satisfied with the appearance of my work on the beards and hair. I\'d like to ask for help and advice...

Hello all. I am looking for a little help. I am trying to improve the quality of my painting. I paint for the tabletop so I don\'t spend as much time on my individual models as I maybe should, but I could still go for some advice. Techniques I am trying to employ now that I hadn\'t been...
