Khanjira's a masterful mini and deserves a fitting base, which is why I've taken on a miniature project of epic proportions. The idea is to have Khanjira rampaging through a section of a fantasy town. The base he came with was the starting point of my design as I imagined that the rubble-strewn...

This Saturday I have a minaiture competition at my local hobby store. I've been working off and on on this figure for a very long time and finally decided to finish him. Got some painting advice from Jessica Rich that I've been putting to good use. He's still super shiny as I haven't gotten to...

Went to my LHS yesterday with the intention of buying one of the Dragon models Iron Man kits... only to discover they were charging a lot more than the prices I found online. This place has started stocking a lot more Gundam lately and one kit in particular caught my eye: You can see the kit...

Searching around hasn't yielded any results, so I'm asking for a bit of help. I'm working on an ambitious project that involves a large diorama on a round wooden base. I'm going to be adding water effects to create a river that's going to be 1-2" deep (depth is controlled/determined by how high...

Lately I've noticed a few different posts on this and other forums asking about paint agitators and even a few threads detailing the horrors of using agitators that ended up ruining their paints after some time had passed due to corrosion, etc. So, I wanted to share what I use for agitators...

Recently I changed jobs and am working as a software engineer for a company that develops custom high grade diagnostics software. We have people that go to a lot of trade shows and I'm trying to talk them into commissioning a diorama from me that shows off one of our new products. As such, I'm...

My sedition wars box has been on the back burner of my paint box until jow and I just discovered that the hurley that cames in the main box is warped pretty badly. I know about the hot water and ice trick for resin, but I am not sure I can get thus guy bent true because of the odd way he is...

It's been a while since I painted anything for a contest and WAMP's Reaper contest is a good place to start, since I've got a lot of pieces from them. First up is a conversion piece that I'm doing for a friend in my gaming group. I added the wings and the shield. I also had to cut off...

I'm helping a friend of mine find a miniature for his character in our upcoming Pathfinder game. He wants a sword and board heavily armored figure, but the lack of a sword isn't an issue as I will sculpt on a shield if needed. The biggest thing is that I am going to be converting the character...

I have a Badger Crescendo airbrush that I've been using for a few years and have taken very good care of. I noticed that there was a terrible problem of the paint stuttering- the flow would not come out nice and even like it used to. I broke down and completely cleaned the airbrush, but that...

Life's too busy for me to keep up with multiple WIP threads like I used to, so I'm consolidating. First up is a montage that shows the Grey Knight Paladins I finished with custom lava bases. This is a WIP shot of a knight I'm doing as a TT commission for a gamer friend of mine. He's playing...

I bought a Rhino it at the same time I bought the Valkyrie but I'm just now getting around to it. With the Valkyrie, I glues the side doors shut so I wouldn't have to mess with any of the interior. This time around, I'm doing the interior. Here's what I've got so far for the back wall. I just...

I've had this box of Nobz sitting in my lad mountain for over a year and finally decided to paint one up. I'll be entering him in a competition at my LHS tomorrow morning- grand prize is a copy of the new Space Marine game. I wasn't really interedted in this game until I read a review of it over...

I'm creating some lava themed bases for my Grey Knight Paladins and I need some help with the painting of the lava. I followed the suggestions from the lava painting tutorial from Irregular Magazine #1. I think my main problem is that I just don't have enough lava to really do much with it. The...

I put this little diorama together for WAMP's Hasslefree contest. I've always wanted to paint some of their 'pirate' kids and picked up a grymn because all the minis had to be from them for this contest. I replaced the kid's blade with a cylindrical piece of styrene and the set pieces are all...

After a little longer wait than I intended, the Gear Slave has been completed and is ready for preorder purchase. Hoping to lead a normal life again, he participated in an experiment that aimed to give him mental control over his prosthetics. The Autonimus was the result of the project, and...
