Does anyone have any tips on how to make real looking lightning? What materials would you use? Is there a sturdy plastic that I accessible? Also, if I have to resort to using green stuff/sculpey, then I\'m going to have to do a pretty convincing paint job. Are there any good pics of models...

Ok, last night I made my first attempt at sculpting a model. It was a dwarf. I was surprised at what a small amount of sculpey I actually used. I kept have to take away and take away. Anyway, the thing took me forever and I was wondering how long most of you who sculpt -WHOLE MODELS- take...

OK, this post is nothing about Dull Cote. I assume that with so many people touting its wonders that it is probably a good matte finish. What I want to know about is the rest of Testors line. Is it any good? They are enamels, right? How does that differ from accrylics? What I\'d really...

I read in a thread recently that sculpey does not like to be painted. Someone said that painting with acrylics causes the sculpey to get goopy. I\'m doing a diorama that is extensively sculpey. I\'d say 75% of it is this. I\'ve baked it so that it is fairly hard and I will be ready to paint...

Do you base? If so, do you base extravegantly? If so, where do you get your inspiration? Until recently I did not base at all. About 6 months ago I started viewing this site and I realized that if I wanted to go to the next step I\'d have to start basing. Now, I\'ve gotten to be such a...

Does the RAFM line still exist? I have seen several of their minis and I think they are very cool. They are a bit cartoony, with large heads and almost child like bodies, but they have an amazing amount of character. However, I have not been able to find a web site for the line. Were they...

I\'m so mad at myself! I was fully prepared to put a post on this site warning everyone who cared to read to never, ever use Krylon Matte Finish spray. Last night I \"varnished\" a 20 dwarf regiment. I put a lot of time into these dwarfs. They were very nice looking for a plastic regiment...

Can someone give me an idea of what the game for Celtos is like? The models are outstanding. I just purchased a couple to give them a go, but I have no idea what the game is all about. Is it skirmish based? Large scale army battles? Voo doo cooking? barkel

Are there any? There must be. I have a list a mile long of mini\'s I wish existed. For example, I\'d like to see a mini of Smaug, from the Hobbit. I know it\'s impossible. He was just too big. The dragons from GW and Reaper would be lucky to destroy a house if they fell on it. Smaug took...

Ok, simple question, what miniature companies, besides GW, makes goblin models. I love GW sculpts, but the goblins are a bit lacking. I know some other companies, but post whatever you can think of, as if I don\'t even know the obvious. Please, also list where I can find said models. barkel

Ok, I could ask the question this way: How many people find thier model actually looks better than the picture they took of it? But I bet I\'d get around 100% affirmatives on that one. So let me put it this way, I find that when I photograph a model of my own it rarely, and by rarely I mean...
