No tips from folks yet but I went ahead and listed my first piece - a Nurgle rhino that I\'d like to clear off of my shelf. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130008008636&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=003 I\'m going to be clearing out the bulk of the minis I\'ve painted over...

Most of the minis in my WIP threads are going to either find their way to eBay or wind up, hopeully, traded for unpainted pieces so I can keep practicing without having to put too much cash in to my habit. I mean hobby. Yes, hobby. I\'m hoping someone out there in CMON land might have eBay tips...

Hoping for feedback on this one - I consider him finished except for his backpack... which I may leave off and sculpt more fur in its place. General feedback? Input on the backpack vs. fur question? My second Seraphim conversion - shading is too dark otherwise I\'m pleased: SoB Imagifier -...

I\'m trying to find icons and images to use in banners - I\'m *hoping* to find vector based files (.ai, .eps) but would be happy with .gif or .jpg files. I have found some banners for Dawn of War out there but I\'m hoping to find individual images and not collected images like banners. What I...

What started as me simply saying, \"hey, wow, I did something new and it was fun,\" has quickly become, \"jumpin\' Jesus on a pogo-stick... I really enjoy this and people seem to want it!\" So I\'m going to try my hand at more custom sculpted bases. I have four new pieces sitting on my...

After getting a couple of suggestions to put my Inquisitor and SoB models on tiled or cobblestoned bases I decided to sculpt a couple... and make molds. Here\'s the first of those pieces with a quick drybrush just to pick up some detail. PS: I really enjoyed this process and plan on making...

I\'ve gotten some good tips and feedback for painting with red in the WIP thread, but it didn\'t seem like the most appropriate place to be fishing for \"how to\" advice. This is the first time I\'ve used red for anything other than highlights. I specifically purchased the Inquisitor Henchmen...

I\'m trying to get through a minor custom conversion for a friend and I\'m not happy with the base mini I found for it. I\'ve had horrible luck finding: Slim build Chain mail shirt flanged mace - 1h no facial hair dreadlocks no helmet no shield I managed to sculpt the dreads thanks to forum...

[SERIOUS EDIT] Original post killed because it was very, very confusing and I wanted to remove the image from my host -- updated post follows the replies pointing out how confusing the original post was... [/SERIOUS EDIT]

I\'m looking for tips and/or tutorials on sculpting dreads. I have a custom order to take care of but I\'m not sure where to start on this. Thanks.

I\'ve got a commission piece for which I would like to use the Dragonblood archmage: http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1515 With one of the Freebooter demons: http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1481...

I thought I\'d start a seperate thread to see whether or not anyone out there had a) measurements for various GW conversion items such as pauldrons, leg length, thickness of various items, etc. b) vector files with the size and angles already plotted This is related to my thread on \"CAD and...

I\'ve worked with a lot of 2D vector plot and CAD modeling tools over the years for various work projects - and I\'d considered applications for them after I got back in to painting. After I saw Scibor\'s work and his disclaimer: I really got to wondering which tools would present me with the...

I\'ve never much cared for the Chaos Dreadnoughts. The Penitent Engine, on the other hand... Basic ideas are, well, pretty basic. I would: Remove the blade and flamer on one arm and replace it with a custom or converted weapon (las-cannon in my case). Replace any inappropriate iconography -...

I\'m trying to find a decent guide to making large sections of smoke and fire. I\'ve seen some really good examples of what I\'m looking for used on jump-packs and the like. What I\'m hoping to pull off is a great deal of fire and smoke for a dragon diorama I\'m going to start shortly. Looking...

Didn\'t get a bite in my WIP thread so I thought I\'d drop it out here: hoping to replace my gold metalic with non metalic colors but haven\'t had any luck just throwing myself in there. Also didn\'t find a gold \"how to\" on the articles section. Anyone have a link for me?

After something like a 15 year break (seriously) I\'ve started to get back in to painting, sculpting and playing for Warhammer 40k. Being more than a little rusty I\'m hoping for feedback and ideas as I start putting together a new Emperor\'s Children army. I have included here, for the first...

I for one am sick to death of molding, sculpting and/or snipping skulls off of other bits. I\'m hoping to find something like a bargain sack of skulls. I\'d even take whole skeletons on the cheap, but what I really want is skulls, skulls and more skulls. Oodles of skulls. A plethora of skulls...
