Is anyone else expecting serious trouble if Johannes Mehserle gets less than the max. I live about an hour from Oakland which sounds as if it's cocked and loaded to EXPLODE if things don't turn out how they want. I'm not debating the trial but just curious about the possible aftermath. This...

Captain Maxwell Finn. Really liked this fig. Good heavy 'I'm da man' pose. Muzzle flash, ammo belt, spent shells and base are from Armorcast. CMON - http://coolminiornot.com/254026 eBAY - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280528931718&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

Been a while. Here's Commander Adept Sebastian Nemo, on a an Armorcast base. I did the little lightning bolts out of tiny slivers of paper glued on with clear coat. Really happy with how he came out. Much more to come..............eventually. There's a GOB of stuff coming from Armorcast...

Quick tip on bending guitar strings. Those things are really hard to bend. I took a small torch and heated the string up till it glowed orange and let it cool. In metal working that's called annealing. The structure of the metal is now changed and it's much softer and thus easier to...

Ronnie James Dio died today. Stomach cancer. What a shame..............

This is too cool not to share. The pic that is. Too expensive for my tastes but very well done piece.

In between doing stuff for Armorcast (there's some SWEET stuff coming out soon!!) I've been fiddling with this fellow. Battered and torn but not giving up. Getting down to doing the wonky, pickey stuff.........the boring stuff. He'll be available from Armorcast probably in the summer. Can...

When did you have your first, sort of epiphony about art? Do you remember as a youth, or maybe later, seeing a piece of work and having a deep reaction/connection to it? One of my earliest memories was when I was (guessing here) about 10 and had gone to the California Palace of the Legion of...

When I was a sprout we moved to the city and someone misunderstood Shawn (don't get how this worked) and thought my name was Squash! Uggg, it stuck.............then good ol dave pellegrini decides to change that to Squish. I was shy and took things like that REAL personally. Now it's funny...

I was looking at this site - http://www.posemaniacs.com/index.php?paged=2 and got to thinking how handy it would be to be able to drag the limbs to the exact pose you're looking for. I'm needing something like that right now. Are there any such things available? I really don't like the wooden...

The last few mini's I've painted I soaked over night in vinegar to etch the surface so as to have the primer stick better. Drives me nutz how easily the primer would come off and so far this seems to have made quite a difference. Little tip you may find helpful.

Mmm'k. Here we go again. Good strong clamp that saves hand from cramping when holding really tiny parts. As far as the Shish kebab stick goes, just use something strong. I used it because it was simply at hand and it's pretty strong wood (bamboo??). Leather being slightly spongy, it's real...

Here's a tool I designed and built that is really versatile, strong and just handy. Really gives relief to carpal tunnel problems. It's a snap to make in short order. A sanding belt for rounding the piece, a band saw to split it, and a drill are all you need. The drill being the only really...

Man, those are FANTASTIC bases. Such precision. Were they laser cut?

What ARE they trying to sell and that clapping hair is way too cool/weird/hilarious!! Udc_R36pVCU

All I'm doing here is expressing the way I see a lot of 'modern'/abstract art. Just trying to see how others feel about the subject. By NO means am I saying I think it's all junk. I've seen some very moving works of abstract art. I have also seen a tendency in the visual arts to put up with a...

I have Microsoft Flightsim X. Have had it for over a year now. At the beginning there was quite and extensive registration thing you had to go through with entering some VERY long strings of numbers. I hadn't played it for a few months and tried to fire it up the other day and it's now asking...
