You know how it is- you think up a really cool D&D setting, then realise that no-one makes the right minis to represent your quirky new species. This, therefore, is my attempt to cope with this problem. Please don\'t laugh too much! :) Group shot, with Dark Sword guy for size comparison...

I\'m trying to decide on bases for my Circle Orboros minis, and I like the idea of snow, lava, or a combination of the two. Has anyone ever tried to mix lava and snow on bases before? The opinion I\'ve been given from the PP forums is that it would look strange. Can you help?

Meet Tristan the loremistress. Hobbies: Shopping, clothes and kicking arse in dungeons: I\'m using her to test out a few techniques, and would appreciate some feedback and tips. I\'m pretty happy with the pale skin and the pink hair. I\'m less thrilled with my efforts with the horse head...

I don\'t know if anyone else has asked this, so I\'m asking now. Does the relative hardness or softness of water affect the quality of a paint job adversely or otherwise? I imagine it would, but I\'m looking for hard evidence here. I\'m asking because the water in my area is extremely hard...

Just started him today, and have only done his robe. Quite pleased with it, although for some reason the green tones have vanished in the photos. I swear there\'s green in there, honest! Whadd\'ya think?

I mean, seriously. If you ever decide that plastic aquarium weed might be a good addition to a mini, I beg you to think twice. Or don\'t try and paint it if you do use it! This was a cool idea in my head, and I\'m not sure how much made it out alive. Judge for yourselves! I made the...

This is something new that I\'ve actually finished, for a change! A nice quick job this, it\'s a gift for a friend and was a lot of fun to paint. At least this owlbear doesn\'t look like he\'s just leapt out of a Birthday cake... Edit: Oooh! Votey-linky thing!

I\'ve seen people mention roundabouts a putty that ou can mix with water and \"paint\" into rough parts and holes to smooth out a mini\'s surface. Does it work on plastic, and could someone please tell me what it\'s called so I can try and find it? Some tips on using it well would be good...

Well, kind of! Fast for me anyway. And great fun. Here they are. Please tell me they\'re better than the 2 that someone just gave them. :(:rolleyes: Voting link (I have been wondering, do the mods vote on stuff when they approve it? Cos if the mods don\'t like my stuff and vote 2s and...

...please? :) Right, I do so like jumping in the deep end, so here\'s my latest mapcap scheme. I have never made a diorama before, and my most complicated base to date was the Reaper butterfly chick. But now, I have two awesome dragons that deserve the best I can manage. I need help! I...

My newest stuff: Voting links: Nova Fangs I painted the Nova to get it out the way, mostly. It\'s possibly my least favourite Cynwall sculpt, but oh well. It was also an absolute sod to photograph. I actually finished painting it before Christmas, but the pics I took back then were so...

Because I want a painful, miserable life I have decided to paint my *huge* collection of Wolfen using the NMM technique... :rolleyes: I hate painting NMM. Mostly because I\'m not very good at it yet, especially on large, smooth areas like those huge Wolfen blades. I can get the colours...

For myself, I buy minis I like and that I want to paint, I like collecting rarer or hard-to-find stuff and I like to collect items with some personal meaning to me. Just yesterday I splashed out on bunch of Ral Partha Planescape stuff and an old Ral Partha dragon set beacuse I\'m a big...

This is one of my most recent (completed!) paintjobs, on Reaper\'s celestial lion. After some creative input from the other half, I selected this rather atypical colour scheme. After all, a subdued palette is all very well, but occasionally it\'s fun to dig out the bright colours too. I\'d...

I loves da BBC news website! How cool is this guy? Linky

Hey people. Never tried this before, but here goes. I picked this Reaper Guardian Beast up because he really caught my imagination, and I wanted to present him as a corroded monster prowling in a kind of deserty/dead volcanoey landscape. Just wanted to see what you clever people think...
