I\'m planning to give one of the miniatures I\'m working on now a cape made of dragonhide -- a bit like the ones some Dark Elf models have, but with a thinner texture. Does anyone know any tips for sculpting scales? I remember there was something about it in WD, but I couldn\'t find the issue...

Does anyone know where to look for good examples of rust and oxidation on NMM? I\'m sure there must be artists who do that sort of thing ...

Yesterday, for the first time, I dirtied up and stained a model to give it a more realistic look. Spilled some blood, drybrushed some soil and dust on the clothing, added some corrosion and rust to the metals. You wouldn’t believe what an emotional effort I had to make to force myself to stain a...

After seeing a while ago the photo of how Astonia\'s dealing with excess paint on her brush instead of licking (and, as far as I remember, Ritual does the same), I tried this approach. And loved it! It\'s very handy -- or should I say, \"thumby\" :D Totally recommended lol

Which do you like better: painting plastic or metallic minis? It\'s hard to explain, but I feel a certain difference between the two materials while painting. Still, some people say that the surface properties of both plastic and metallic minis should be the same after it\'s primed. What do you...

I\'ve been browsing some historical miniatures ranges and to my great surprise I found a whole range of models of Armenian soldiers by different manufacturers! Being an Armenian by origin, my patriotic feelings instantly went sky high. And what\'s even more amazing it that the best 28 mm range...

Here is the AUCTION for this model:

I\'m desperately looking for a miniature with an owl (yes, the bird). It has to be a male human, though. Anyone knows a mini looking like that?

Here\'s the link to auction: Galadriel by the Mirror This is also one of my GD finalists; the other two I\'m not selling ;)

You can check the autcion out HERE ... and right HERE you can take a closer look at all the minis separately

I was reading the last issue of Harbinger yesterday, and on top of the page 59, I found this: \"The planet of the Dark Age has many names but one of the first was ATTR, which is the Russian word for \'Hell\'\" I was laughing so hard, I think I woke up all the neighbours! I mean, apart form...

Yes, that\'s just so true! I don\'t like assembling models, unless it includes a conversion of some sort. It just seems such a waist of time! Every time I put a model together, I simply can\'t wait to finish this time-consuming process and start painting. Anyone feeling the same?

Congratulate me -- it\'s been a month and I haven\'t licked a single brush! I\'ve quit this horrendous habit of mine, and as of now, I never lick the brushes anymore. Seems like I\'ve defeated a very powerful addiction... and proud of it! :D

My best guess would be using tea leaves for this purpose. Any advise?

I know I\'ve asked about this before, but the conversation very quickly shifted to the rubber ducks at the Thistle hotel :) I\'ve checked that one, but it seems it\'s quite a long way from NIA. I was wondering what other hotels you, experienced GD-goers, would recommend (close to NIA, that is).

What do you use for transporting your minis? Boxes filled with ... fabric? cotton? toilet paper? :D

Come on, share you worst habit that has to do with miniature painting :) Mine is ... licking the brush to take off the excess paint or water. Something tells me I\'m not the only one here :)

... desperately looking for one. I remember seeing a gallery of one awesome painter who did amazing things with metallics. He even signed all his works with something like \"this is NOT nmm!\". Anyone has a clue who this artist might me? Or maybe you could recommend another expert in metallics?
