Having never ordered anything from Great Britain before, wondering how long I should expect on mini from Hassle Free to arrive to my home in Washington USA. That's on the West Coast, for those unfamiliar. When I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, we typically got mail in 6-10 days from the...

Artists, In my quest to make good display bases, would like to know what you all use for for your basing needs. What materials do you find mandatory and why? Where do you get it? The reason I ask, is that so many people do so many different things to make good display bases. I'd like to know...

Greetings CMONers, I currently work at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington state. I am looking for someone, preferably whose painting skills are greater than my own, who would like to paint together. I've looked around for painting clubs and such and all I have found are a couple groups that...

Artists, I am trying my hand at some freehand. I'm choosing some pretty challenging stuff, simply because I'm confident I can pull it off. Hey, I drew it on paper without any problems. :P A birdie advised me to practice my freehand on some styrene (he's rumored to be heavily invested in the...

If'n you don't have access to a tripod, like many of us, and you either can't use or don't want to use your cameras timer setting to take photos, it's a good idea to apply marksmanship fundamentals with rifles to your camera fundamentals. These fundamentals are taught to US Army soldiers during...

Okay, first and foremost I would like the Dreadquake Mortar. I am a mortarman in the US Army and so this is my bread and butter. Dying for this figure but my wife won't let me spend the kind of dough required to have it shipped from FW at its retail price. So I'm looking for a bargain. AND OR...

Thinking of making a base with one of those Asian privacy screens on it. Also known as room dividers. This: http://m.rakuten.com/product/228278943 Id like to place it in front of a mini and paint her shadow onto it. Has anyone seen a miniature version of these? I have scoured the internet...

Painting a Wyrd mini for a contest. She is a red headed Ronin. Basically a samurai chick that decided it is best to do battle in lingerie. I painted most of her outfit in varying shades of purple. This is what I have so far...

I have a loose idea that has been forming in my head for a couple of weeks now. I guess by my putting it out there in a thread I am at risk of forfeiting it, but I'd find it hard to believe if I was the first to think of it. Doesn't really involve minis, but I think some in this audience could...

CMONers, A very specific question here. Does anyone know if incarcerated members of our society are allowed to paint from prison? More specifically, a military prison? A bit of info I can provide: There is a bit on the internet about this already. I found this thread on TMP...

Can anyone tell me how to change my avatar? My profile pic? I 'm sick of being thought of as a little red headed girl but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to alter it.

I'm looking for an online store in the US that will support my display basing needs. Something like pk-pro.de The wider the selection, the better. Any ideas?

Want to order some Woodland Scenics scenery for a planned diorama. Can anyone with experience in model railroading tell me which scale converts for 28-32mm minis? I think I want the HO scale, which I believe is 1/77th or something. Every single model rail road business in my area closed in the...

Working on a Sigvald, a mini with a nice rounded shield, and I want to give it a chromatic reflective effect, as many users of CMON have done already. Some have pulled it off much better than others (I'm talking to you, mattster) and I'm confident I can make my own interpretation using SE NMM...

I used some liquid GS to fill some small gaps where a figure's arms meet its shoulders. Being LGS I had to apply 2-3 layers. I used a knife to remove excess as I applied, but there is still some leftover dried GS outside the gap, and I am afraid that it will make for a coarse surface. It's in a...

I know it's not the fault of CMON, because individual retailers should be the ones to host a painting contest, but it has been 2 years since there has been a painting contest on this website. Can anyone tell me how I can get involved in a painting contest outside of CMON? I live in Seattle...

Trying to get a consensus for who makes the best minis, and why. Clearly, this is a highly subjective question, so feel free to quantify your response with your prerequisites. Personally, I am looking for a company that does high quality fantasy figurines. Super detailed and very artistic. By...

I have a WFB Chaos Army in the making. I am relatively new to painting and sculpting, but I've made huge strides very recently. I will have a quality fine cast model done shortly though, and my hope is that I can send pics of my progress and get some quality feedback. Let's start with my Khorne...

When I mention glazing here, I mean applying a controlled wash in order to mute highlights and smooth blends. I am not referring to juicing or tinting a mini. To unify your blends and tone down some contrasts, it's often a good idea to apply an even glaze, especially in these transitional...

Was wondering how the artist achieves this frozen, crackled effect. I'm pretty certain that it's 3 dimensional and mot just freehand. I tried to freehand the thinnest of cracks with a variety of colors and just couldn't do it. Tried PMing as well...
