    Controversial post of the week...

    I Liked the Hobbit 2...right up until Smaug. SPOILERS AHEAD!! I remember distinctly an interview with Peter Jackson a few years back where he declared they were going to avoid having Smaug's mouth move when he spoke as it would require mammalian lips to be effective, and look stupid as a...

    Controversial post of the week: About banners and flags

    Often times some of the more amazing works have ...extra bits tacked on, usually in the form of banners or flags. It takes but a second to find some posted here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/346341?browseid=7558174 http://www.coolminiornot.com/345345?browseid=7558174...

    About highlights and shdows

    I recognise that this might come across as an opinionated post (well, technically every post is opinionated, but you get my meaning), but here goes... I think, IMHO, purely personally, just my 2c... Shading and highlighting are become overdone. And I mean on the top rated, award winning...

    Our "childish" hobby

    I'm sure everyone here has encountered it. The odd looks, the patronising comments ("I see you're in touch with your inner child"), the awkward shuffles as you show off your pride and joy... Apart from nearest and dearest (who, God bless 'em usually get used to the idea), and err, children...

    Rarest Mini you own

    Thought I'd break my 12 month hiatus from posting with a simple question. What's you rarest mini? Now, I'll quickly jump in here that custom greens and commissions don't count, obviously a once-off will be "rare" Even old OOP stuff can be considerably more common than you might think, Posting...

    What's your oldest mini?

    I thought I’d start another fun thread… I started painting minis in High school, back in the early ‘80’s. My first ever mini was an Asgard lizard-cyclops thing (that I would love to have again, but it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever see another one). But the oldest mini I actually still have was...

    Displaying your precious minis

    At the moment, my bestest minis sit on an open shelving unit build by my father in law. It suits, but the dusting is annoying. But now we have a Bengal cat: I have to rethink this. Basically, this cat climbs, jumps, leaps everywhere, and is quite capable of destroying an entire army of small...

    Finally,a Cthulhu Mini I like!

    Mierce (ne banelegions) has released photos of several new minis, include this beauty! Compared to the sad Reaper effort, this one ticks all the boxes for me. Of course, you may Love the Reaper version, or indeed, if you have your head screwed on backwards, the old RAFM one...! But this one...

    Making Bases

    I did a search for "making bases" but drew a blank. OK, I did find some posts, but they weren't guides on how-to, just: "gee guys, look what I did" sort of thing. Anyway, I have decided that none of the bases I have, or can see to buy, will suit my BaneBeast Chimerae. Partially this is...

    Krull Builders...Wing assistance please

    OK all you Krull builders, how in the seven living hells did you get the wings to stick on? At first, I thought the fit was so good, that simple super glue would do the job, but no, snapped off when I tested, seems the contact surface area isn't as large as I thought (upon inspection, I was...

    This is the release still in box. Perfect condition, for only $200 ONO Shipping from Australia to be calculated, but shouldn't be too much, (thank God for resin!) Offers by PM, or just leave a message. Thanks!

    What happened to "MINIatures"

    When I started this hobby back in the '80s, when Ral Partha and Grenadier, ruled supreme, and Games Workshop was still just a stain in it's father's pants, Mini's were these 2-3cm little things. When Grenadier released Tyronus, the Ultimate Dragon, it was the hugest most amazing thing, Ral...

    Blood Maw builders...a gentle warning.

    After my toothy troubles, my Blood Maw was greenstuffed, and ready for painting...yay. I sprayed it a light brown, let it dry overnight, and today started on the detail work. Of course the first thing most people will start with is the mouth. I used Elf Flesh and Gory Red, mixed in various...

    Does anyone know if the Extreme Carnivean is available for sale? PP's web site leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to purchasing things, only a tiny proportion is in their store. Any links/advice/feedback welcomed. Thanks!

    Not ONE painted Cang??

    Cang the Implacable has been available for purchase for ages now, and I'm sure has sold quite well ( in that he gets restocked from time to time). Yet not ONE painted Cang has appeared in the gallery! What gives...is he that hard to paint? I'm not a particaurly inspirational painter, and...

    Banebeasts..what happened?`

    I know they started out producing "rough" miniatures, but quickly became one of the best, innovative miniature houses around. Yes, they name their creations by randomly bashing the keyboard. Yes, they are testicularly obsessed... But they produced miniatures so well engineered, created with the...
