What's the mixture ratio for Green Stuff and Magic Sculpt?

I lost my webhost a while ago, which wiped all my pictures out. I tried updating them on CMON today and accidentally deleted all of them, so I resubmitted them as new entries. Not a big deal except for the fact I almost had enough votes to get an official rating... but I'm not too worried about...

So far I've managed to get ahold of everything I need for this project except for the clay shapers. Looks like I'll be ordering them online today. The only sculpting I've ever done, besides an ashtray in elementary school, has been conversion work for other miniatures. I did sculpt the hands on...

I have finally finished the minor conversions to the Gretchin set I bought for Little Angels and I am very pleased by the results: I'm calling this squad the "GEER HEDZ". All of the parts you see were scavanged by me from either watches I bought on the cheap from yard sales for just such a...

I'm currently DMing a D&D 4th ed. campaign for my friends and we're having a lot of fun, but none of them have ever shown intrest in painting minis for their characters- they always use some of the stock I keep for just such a purpose. I finally decided that I had had enough of an armored lizard...

Elvish Scouts from Mantic Games(Completed- C&C welcome!) I got my free Elvish Scouts that Mantic games were giving away a while ago. I was really suprised when I got a sprue of 2 scouts: They weren\'t too bad to clean up and were easy to assemble. The only issue that I have with these guys...

I built this diorama for a WAMP competition where the theme was Barbarians at the Gate. The guy with the hammer is Thomas Hammerfist from Reaper. I don\'t know who makes the Cyclops or the guy with the spear; the Cyclops was a gift from my wife when we were dating, and the guy with the spear was...

This is something I\'m working on for a WAMP ladder competiton, and the theme is \"Barbarian at the Gate.\" Here\'s a shot of what I\'ve finished for the whole scene so far: I cut out slots for gaming bases because I want these minis available to game with. The empty base in the middle is...

I finally made the switch to painting with a wet pallette last night, and I have to say that I love it! I\'m getting incredible mileage out of less paint, and i feel like I have more control over blending and even painting. I created my own using the tutorial over at BrushThralls on making one...

For a diorama I\'m making, I want to create a frame with balsa wood, and then use Sculpy to sculpt over the frame. Now, balsa wood has an ignition point of 392 degrees F, and no measurable flash point (yes, I\'m geek enough to look up the MSDS for balsa wood:cool: ). Sculpy has a baking temp of...

I created this diorama for a WAMP competiton. The theme was Wargames, and this was my ironic take on it. I did my first big conversions for this project, which mostly consisted of creating the ork\'s hands. The base is mohagony and was tunred by my father-in-law; he did some great work! What...

I\'ve searched the forum but couldn\'t find a good answer to this. I basecoated the Orks I\'m working on with a diluted layer of Chaos Black after priming them. The greens I\'m using had been sitting around for a very long time, so I added some water and dropped a small bit of scrap metal...

The rulebook that came with my AoBR set doesn\'t answer ann my questions... especially when they\'re questions regarding paint schemes! Is there a rhyme or reason for the different colored helmets one usually sees with the Ultramarines? Sometimes they\'re standard blue, others are white, some...

This is my first experience doing detailed conversions on any minis, so I would greatly appreciate any C&C or pointers you guys can provide. So far I\'ve only completed one of the Orks that I\'m converting. I started with this guy here: I don\'t need the axe for what I have planned, so I...

Well, I finally broke down and decided to give 40k a try. I just ordered the AoBR box set yesterday. I\'m really looking forward to having that many minis to paint/convert/play with. I hope I enjoy playing 40k as much! Any advice for a complete newbie?

I found this treasure chest from Rackham a few months ago, and have finally gotten around to using it. The best part about it is that it comes with about 8 different treasure inserts, including one that only has a rat in it for the unlucky adventurer. I bought it for my D&D group, so I can tempt...

I need 4 40K orcs, and I need some help identifying which kind of orcs I need. I need: -2 orcs that are sitting, or could easily be converted into sitting. -1 orc that\'s halfway standing, or could be converted to look that way I\'m going to use a Warboss for the last orc, so that one\'s...

If you don\'t know who Scott Kurtz is, then you must go read his webcomic now! In a recent blog entry, Kurtz talks about painting a mini with Mike from Penny Arcade. From what I can see of the mini, he did a really good job on the shield. He also mentions getting the mini professionally...

Let me reiterate, as always, that I know nothing about 40k... at all! I\'ve got a concept in my head I want to work on, but I wonder if it would be game legal. Could a Dreadnaught have an appropriately sized energy sword mounted on one of its arms, or is that not allowed in the game rules?

I\'ve finally completed by Tyrant of Vile-Tis mini. He\'s from Rackham. The comment I got the most from my WIP was that I needed to push the contrast on the armor. I went as far as I felt I could go with it. I hope I went far enough with it. For some reason my camera makes the water on the...
