As some of you know, I'm a web developer/designer by trade. Most years I tend to undertake some project or other, generally to keep the brain ticking and ensure that I'm keeping up with the latest trends etc which I don't tend to have the time to do at work, also if it can make a couple of quid...

Ok, it's not a mini but is related! I'm lucky enough to be able to have a third bedroom that I've setup as a small office. However in true form, over the past year+ I've let it get a right tip and couldn't work in it if my life depended upon it. So in an effort to get more things painted this...

Going to be putting up some more bits on eBay this weekend as I need some more cash for my new fishtank (which is costing more than I'd planned). Amongst the bits is going to be my FW Goblin on Squig Hopper. Really sad to let this go but it's been in a cupboard for over a decade and although...

I just looked up at the number of pages under General Discussion... 666 pages ladies and gents...

After reading a few posts in recent months where people have been asking about the best matte varnish to use, I thought it would be worth posting up my results from using Daler Rowney Soluble Varnish. This is the stuff that is recommended in the ForgeWorld Masterclass book and I am...

It might be just me, but when you're "replying with quote" is it possible to move/hide the blue "Reply to Thread" button, or to shift the collection of three buttons ("Post Quick Reply", "Go Advanced" and "Cancel") over to the left where they're more obvious to click? I've found more than once...

Bit of a strange question here. I'm currently frantically trying to get my GD entry ready for the 25th and a large portion of it is being airbrushed due to it's size. I did a 3 hour airbrushing session last night and about half way in was really struggling with cramp and muscle's bunching in...

Hi all, I listed 12 lots of Praetorian Imperial Guard on eBay last night, a total of 125 metal miniatures from the limited edition 1997 "Battle for Big Toof River", all new and unpainted bar 5. One lot contains the original boxing and 52 mini's still in original blister, the rest I've tried to...

Apologies for the rather cryptic topic title and it's not a truly miniature related question... Last night though a pure accident I managed to break part off a garden ornament of my Mum's - true to form this ornament was given to Mum by a lady who's funeral was yesterday... The ornament (it's...

Okey donkey all, I'm after picking your brians to look for a suitable mini that I can convert. The other half and I are LRPer's and she'd quite like me to paint up a mini as her current character. Her character is a "beastkin", so half human, half Tasmanian devil, wears scruffy leather armour...

Completely non-mini related, but does anybody know where I can get hold of a copy/iso of Windows Server 2008 SBS? The company I work for has the open licenses and CALs but they were bought without the media, and it's one of the few open licenses available where you can't physically download the...

Bit of an odd question and I think the answer is "no". I've got a corner sofa in the living room and have taken to sitting in the deep corner, feet up with a painting station on my lap. Really comfortable position and I can easily see the telly too (well as far as my short-sighted eyes can)...

A friend just posted up a link to this RP system - it looks remarkably entertaining :D

Hi All, I've just spent the last hour in bed searching for an article on how to make realistic cobwebs on a miniature. I'm positive I saw something in the last couple of weeks on the subject but cannot for the life of me find where... pete

Just thought this: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/games-workshop/finecast-resin-models/cat_955.html might be interesting for those who haven't already seen it. Wayland did a visual quality control check on Finecast stock and had over 55% with visible faults so have sent it back :) Quite nice...

I'm sure it's been debated before, but due to price and range changes its a question that should be re-asked fairly regularly ;) My brother and I tend to try and collect our armies in line with each other, so I built up my beastmen whilst he built up his tomb kings, I did space wolves he did...

I'm currently considering getting myself a fish tank for my house and some tropical freshwater fish - I say contemplating, I've pretty much decided on the tank already ;) I've never kept fish before, so it's a new venture and I just wondered if anybody here had any tips, as although the...

Finally got round to playing some games of 40k over the weekend with my Space Wolves (my brain hurt with all the maths ;)). Got a small question about dedicated transports. A unit of Grey Hunters can purchase a Rhino at +35 points, max transport capacity of ten. Simple so far... Now I can...

Just a bit of curiosity more than anything. I've decided to use my airbrush to basecoat my Space Wolves so that I can hopefully get them painted as, I've recently had a few offers of people wanting to game (which I've not actually done for probably 4 or 5 years)... What I am curious about, is...

Hoping that tonight and over the weekend (tomorrow evening is Six Nations so no time;) ) I'm going to do a bit more airbrushing and I need to mask some areas off on the project I'm currently doing. I've got masking tape (tamiya stuff, so super low tack), but there's some fiddly curves and it...
