After painting so many tanks on commission I decided it would be fun to paint one to a display quality for myself. I have no idea why I thought this would be fun but it\'s too late to turn back now. At this stage I have only completed the first of at least three highlights on the red. No...

It\'s going to take me a few days (at least ) to get around to putting together a before/after shot so I thought I\'d get this one up for the moment. I\'ll add some detail about the painting, basing, etc. when I have a couple of minutes to string together. Feedback appreciated, as always...

Someone sent me a link for the Forgeworld Fire Dragon (I hadn\'t looked in the WHF section) which got me thinking about dragons. I rummaged around in my boxes and found a PILE of old Ral Partha and Grenadier dragons -- including this rather large one (6\" x 12\") that I had done when I was about...

I have decided to get rid of the Emperor\'s Children dreadnought I converted. I\'m very happy with him but don\'t have room to keep him on the shelf at this point. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=130051994641&rd=1&rd=1 I am also...

Some months ago I posted a couple of WIP shots of my first scratchbuild terrain piece -- a G Scale billboard for my father in-law to go with his model railroad collection. Well today is his birthday so I\'m finally getting it finished. With the exception of some additional shrubs and tall...

Another one I\'m finally setting aside as finished. This is the first major conversion I undertook and I\'m really happy with it. Unfortunately it\'s also the first piece I ever tried to use highlighting on -- so there\'s a LOT that I\'d like to go back and improve... but I\'m not going to strip...

This model was very much inspired by Ap0k\'s amazing (final cut making) http://www.coolminiornot.com/135291 I\'m very happy with how most of it turned out and I\'m finally posting it so I don\'t keep fiddling with it. Quite pleased with the bone accents, most of the text and the reds. Not so...

I finally got around to posting the other vehicles in the armoured company commission I\'ve been working on. I\'m getting them two at a time which means there will be a small mountain of updates coming -- but, for the moment: The original submission - before/after - without the white turrets...

I had posted this awhile back as part of a commission thread -- but when the buyer bailed on my I decided to put in new details and re-list the battleforce on eBay. I\'ve been too busy to do much buy made a point of sanding, re-painting, and detailing the hatch. I also added a bit of weathering...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/139599 I\'m just about finished with the fourth tank in the armoured company commission I\'ve been working on. These tanks are coming to me one or two at a time and have been a real pleasure to re-paint. The last painter just butchered these poor pieces. On all of...

First up is my \"Pizza Face\" Nurgle Terminator conversion: http://www.coolminiornot.com/138932 Second is an Emperor\'s Children captain - which I used to practice freehand on the banner. The model itself is meh at best: http://www.coolminiornot.com/138933 And last, but not least, a gun...

Okie dokie - the first real WIP update on this guy. I still have a long, long way to go on this one. I don\'t consider the conversion even 50% completed. With the exception of the left leg it\'s all sticky tack - so I can move and change just about everything. I tacked him together for...

I\'m starting in on a Dark Apostle conversion. I already have a score of ideas I\'m working from but would love some additional input. I\'m building him in power armour. Of course he has to have his crozious - he\'ll also have a bolt pistol in the off-hand. Since I don\'t play, and I\'m not...

I\'m making two overnight trips to the armpit of our state twice per month now which has left me with a fair amount of time to paint, without interruption, while I\'m sitting in my hotel room. This time I remembered to bring something with me - so I put this guy together and got him started...

I\'m just about ready to post this guy (got some feedback on another forum I\'m going to incorporate tonight) but hoping to get some input from the CMON community. The general WIP thread was dead so I thought I\'d try here - especially since he\'ll probably be online for voting tonight. My...

Miniature Exchange #10 - like Wheel of Fish, only completely different Okay, okay, so I am a couple of days early. I am going to be busy this weekend though and figure that early is better than late. What is the Miniature Exchange? I’m so glad you asked. Okay, most of you probably won’t ask...

A buddy of mine sent me a pile o\' marine bits as part of our commission agreement and I went straight to town with them. Not a lot of heavy conversion on this one - but a fun combination of the existing GW pieces. Only the shoulders, with the raised pauldron edging, are custon. First round of...

So I had this idea to take the smoke stacks from a dreadnought (that EC Dread conversion), file them down, and attach them to a Terminator. One thing lead to another and suddenly I found myself getting plasticard crazy. Turns out I\'m converting an Iron Warriors marine. Still need some wires and...
