Does anybody know what kind of resin Forge World have used for their Zone Mortalis boards (linky)? It's very lightweight and black. I believe that Games Workshop have used it for some other bits of terrain before they started off their plastic range (there was a dwarf hill with wall on and the...

For the first time in ages, I've actually kept up the momentum of painting after I finished a project :) I normally burn myself out completely on a project and have no enthusiasm for picking up a brush for months. I picked this mini up as a "one-off" as it was probably the first infantry sized...

Just wondering if anybody had a proven paint recipe (preferably using Citadel paints but have P3 menoth white base too) that give a natural leather colour like you get on the reverse side of a pelt. For example: Although I could try and work it out (reckon bone colour with grey and browns)...

The article page navigation isn't working for me and comes up with http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/page=2 as the URL rather than /articles/page=2

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=4200016-gws Well it looks like somebody at GW has actually listened to the general consensus about White Dwarf no longer being a 'hobby magazine' and being a monthly catalogue, so there's a new editor and changes to the editorial team. In...

When I'm airbrushing I tend to mix my paints in little 3.5ml flip-top paint pots (like you get when you get in paint by number kits), I put the appropriate paint in, thin it down and then pour it into the cup of my airbrush. A pot is really only good for one colour/shade and although you can...

Hi All, Bit of a long shot really. Last night I went to use my laptop which has been working perfectly and it didn't boot up. I mean nothing, the screen stays black the HDD flashes for a few seconds and that's it. I did all of the usual stuff (plugged into external screen, removed battery...

I'm going to go a little bit against my usual tradition and start a WIP with some of the progress of my Golden Demon entry for this year. True to form I'm farther behind than I hoped I would be, but I'm starting to claw back time and actually put primer on the base this morning before I went to...

I was just thinking about my GD entry and need to paint a couple of bits black. These are "cross-section" cut-aways rather than a piece of the actual miniature (in this case a pipe that runs front to back across the base and I'm just going to block off the back end). I've nearly always gone...

Hi all, I'm in the process of trying to sculpt a fur cloak from scratch and struggling a little with the pelt base to get it looking right. I've rolled out my green stuff, got it as smooth and flat as I can, but the whole thing is, well, floppy and lack-luster. I know it's not cured yet, but...

Hi all, I put an order into Forge World on Monday and was wondering if anybody had an idea of the general turn around they run to currently? I was meant to be away this weekend, but due to a viral cough I've got probably won't be now, so was wondering about the chance of it arriving in time...

Just looked at an e-mail that appeared in my work account yesterday and spotted a Light Tent for £29.99. Pretty good bargain as it comes with lights too.

I finally pulled my finger out and have put a box of VGC and VMA onto eBay. Seems to be quite a bit of interest. It is worth noting that these sets are a couple of years old now. Reason for selling is that I've never really got into using Vallejo as a paint range (I use a few VMA and that's...

Just wondering what everybody's thoughts were on creating WIPs for projects that are going to be entered for competitions (e.g. Golden Demon and similar). Do you think it puts that miniature at a disadvantage despite the benefits of having people comment and critique on that piece - or in fact...

When I say new I mean "replacement". It's been rumoured for a few months but yesterday this post on BoLS actually lists what's meant to be happening. It could all be rubbish, but having followed the rumours for some time, pretty positive it's going to happen.

Because I'm a nice bloke I'm going to buy the other half an Xbox 360 (she's been on for ages about wanting one). Anybody know of any good deals going off in the UK currently? Looking to get one that's got wifi built in and a hard drive that's preferably more than the bog standard 4gb. cheers...

Quick question - roughly what pressure do people use when airbrushing Vallejo Model Air Metallics? Just been trying to spray some Gun Metal and had a right pain as it just didn't seem to want to go through the airbrush very happily. Just wondering if I had the pressure right. I had mixed it...

Hi All, Has anybody any recommendations for companies selling dedicated web servers, preferably in the UK? The company I work for is in the process of getting one shortly and I'd much rather buy through word of mouth than Googling :) pete

Seems like an age since I posted any kind of WIP - in fact it has been an age :s Now that my working area is finally back in a usable state I've finally pulled my finger out and am finishing putting together & painting an Imperial Guard Stormlord tank. This is one of the super heavies...

Just wondering where everybody buys their weathering pigments as I'm after a couple of dirt and couple of rust colours for a mates tank that I'm working on (WIP pics once I've finished putting it together). Most of the places I've found with a Google Shopping search seem to be around the £4...
