    Selling my extra paint. Vallejo Paint 72 box set Game Color, good condition!

    I\'m selling a Vallejo Game Color 72 box set that has been used only a dozen times or so. I have too much paint for myself to use so I\'m thinning out my collection. You get all the colors that I recieved in this set along with some others I\'m throwing in. Most of the colors are used but some...

    I’ve had it! You shall rue the day you touch my food!

    I’m not a mean person, but when it comes to people stealing from me I get fed up. When you take a person’s food, the first time may be a mistake. The second time is selfish, but the fourth, fifth and sixth times are just plain inexcusable. While I’m away from school for the summer break, I work...

    Games Workshop Paints vs. Vallejo Paints (Game Color/ Model Color)

    I had a pretty good discussion with one of my modeling/painting buddies today. He\'s all for GW paints while I paint with Vallejos. I\'m just trying to get a general consensus about what people use just out of curiousity. What do you like about the paints you use, what don\'t you like about...

    Courtesy of the local hicks: Bullet Holes!

    I was out running today along the long networks of bike trails we have here in \"mining country\" when I passed by this sign. The locals have an affinity for shooting stuff, so this was no suprise. I\'ve seen bullet holes before, but I thought I\'d post this in case people need references to...

    Paint drying glossy

    Howdy everyone! I\'ve been working on some minis, which you can see in the WIP, and I had a concern about the paint drying glossy on a mini. I\'m currently building up the basecoat on a chapter master and I noticed in some spots its drying rather glossy. I\'m using Vallejo Game color paints...

    So it starts! My summer painting marathon.

    It has started. Since I\'ve given up WoW I\'ve gone back to painting. I\'m becoming better and better at each day so I\'ve decided to go and tackle two projects at once. First up on the block is this guy: He\'s a possessed champion. He\'ll be on a base with a disemboweled corpse below...

    Just out of general curiousity, how often to you paint?

    I get up at 4:30 on weekday mornings, go for a run, come back, eat breakfast and head off to work which starts at 6:00 AM and ends at 2:00 PM. I come home and I\'m usually beat. I\'d like to paint minis whenever I can, but I can only really do it on the weekends. I\'d love to be able to paint...

    Trouble with brush moisture

    When many painters start out, they tend to put on too much paint. As I\'ve matured painting-wise, I\'ve learned it\'s much better to go thin and then build up. After reading through some articles, viewing some tutorials, and even watching some of the Miniature Mentor, I\'ve learned that you can...

    Back on the painting wagon, advice is greatly appreciated!

    Here\'s the start of my newest model. I recently found my new version of the Dark Angels codex and became absorbed with the storyline and artistry in the book. Here\'s the start of it. I\'m looking to add binding washes to the cape and the armor. He\'s going to be standing in a ruined heap...

    Recovering WoW Addict- give me that push!

    My name is Jake and I\'m a recovering World of Warcraft addict. WoW has well over 8 million players. While the idea of playing the game seems incredibly dumb, it\'s extremely addicting. At this moment, I\'m looking at dropping the game for good. While half of my mind yells at me to drop the...

    Space Marine Commander; first mini in a while!

    Well I got a mini done. It\'s the first one I\'ve done in a while. It looks pretty good and people from my local shops want me to paint for them. The photography isn\'t that good yet as I\'m still learning. Comments are greatly appreciated. If there\'s something I could improve, tell me so...

    The dreaded chalkiness. I need some help on thinning.

    Happy Friday Painters! This past week I have been extensively working on painting a space marines chapter master when I noticed that he\'s starting to look more and more chalky. I\'ve been trying to use washes of gray/black to create a medium that makes the layers blend easier but I appear to...

    I love realism!

    Fellow painters! I\'m back in the painting loop and I\'ve made some progress on my new minis I\'ve been working on. After reviewing many of the lovely submissions, I\'ve astounded by one thing: realism! I want to know, how do you do it??? Is there a tutorial out there for a such a thing...

    How do I achieve beautiful realism like these submissions?

    Fellow painters, Well I\'ve been back in the fold now for a few months and I\'ve been getting better and better. Recently I\'ve been obsessed with achieving realism in my models. I mainly paint Warhammer 40k models and sell them, but rather than making them all shiney and pristine, I\'d rather...

    Feeling helpless! I think I\'ve lost my touch.

    Fellow painters, I\'ve finally gotten back into my painting hobby but have hit a terrible snag: I think I\'ve lost my rythm. I\'m terrified. I\'ve gotten really good at posing my models again, working with green stuff, and have become very good with bases. My painting is my low end now and I\'m...
