Seems to be ages since I've actually contributed anything to here although I have been lurking in the background. Happy New Year ;) My current project I actually stand a chance at completing, as it picked with my girlfriend. At Christmas I was given two of the GW paint stations so we went off...

Been quite a while since I've actually had anything that remotely resembles a WIP, the joys of buying a house, commuting to Bridgend every few weeks seem to consume vast quantities of time :) However, things are finally starting to settle down now, most of my modeling and painting bits are...

As the subject line implies I've been away from here since Christmas - can't quite believe how quickly the time has gone, but thought I'd poke my head in and say hi. Painting/modelling ground to a halt and was replaced with buying a house and recently starting to date a young lady. I've...

I've finally got round to installing the bits of software after my Windows 7 install, so can post up my current project. The story so far... This is the 'practice' model that I'm using to experiment the actual painting of my Space Wolf army. Currently learning how thin to water my paints...

Bit of a strange question here, but one that should get the brain ticking :) Currently I'm in the throws of assembling up a 'Wolf army - going along great guns but hit a bit of a puzzler. In an effort to make life easier to paint my mini's I've left the backpacks off, as many recent 'Eavy...

I'm currently looking into getting a Solid State Drive for my desktop pc and have done a little bit of investigation into them. Just wondering if anybody else had any experience of them - the technology seems to have developed in leaps and bounds over the past 10 months or so and I'm happy to...

I thought I might as well post up my entry to GD09. Didn\'t get anywhere with it, though to be honest I\'m not that surprised. Overall the paint job was very rushed and as such didn\'t come close to the standard I was hoping or able to achieve. On the positive, I entered a model and learned...

I\'m currently painting like a loon in an effort to get me an entry for Golden Demon this weekend. The couple of times I\'ve put something in before I\'ve always said \'must start earlier\' but never have, which has just got me thinking... When does anybody else start planning \'projects\' for...

I\'m frantically trying to get my GD entry up for this weekend, despite some bugger keep giving me other things to do. I\'ve just started on the highlighting of the armour and am very unhappy with the output. Despite using a wet palette and thinning my paint down etc, my \"subtly blended...

I\'ve just been airbrushing what I still intend to take with me as this years golden demon entry and have a small question for anybody who knows. What I\'ve been finding is that the needle on my airbrush needs wiping clean fairly regularly. Basically it\'s just a matter of carefully using a...

Taken a small break on my GD entry to experiment with my fairly new Iwata airbrush. The following tanks have both been \'double\' salt weathered. That is two applications of salt to expose a total of 3 different colours of paint. I\'m pretty happy with them, though I know that there is still...

I\'ve finally managed to scrounge a lift to Swindon so that I can catch the coach to the UK Games Day this year, providing the store is running coaches and theres space for me and my brother :D Need to work out if I can get a Golden Demon entry done in time (bearing in mind my usual speed of...

Having read the recomendation of using Halfords screenwash as a medium for thinning acrylics for use in airburshes, just want to check that its the same stuff I\'ve just persuaded my Mum to buy as we\'d run out for the cars - crafty - me - never :D pete

Hi all, I\'ve done various bits of searching (both here and on Google), and am curious about something regarding airbrushes. I have a Badger 200, its a single action airbrush that you attach a pot of paint onto the bottom. Great for base coats and large things like terrain. Now I\'ve seen a...

Hi All, Been a long time since I\'ve actually posted, real life seems to have got in the way of painting and modelling yet again :s I was wondering how people store their green stuff? By its nature it sticks to anything going. I buy mine in \'tube form\' rather than ribbon - for those who...

Hi All, It seems an absolute age since I posted anything - in fact it IS an absolute age... Damn real life keep getting in the way! Anyhow, onto the topic :) I\'ve always been a Space Wolf fan at heart, in fact my first ever mini\'s were (horrifically painted) wolf guard termi\'s many years...

Hi all, bit of an odd question, does anybody know anywhere that sells the old gw inquisitor range but cheaper or with less postage than gw directly. Reason for this is that I randomly came across the battle brother artemis I\'d started to convert ages back, but haven\'t the foggiest where the...

Ok, first off I actually feel like I might actually finish this model!!! I started on Saturday and have so far managed to work on it every evening so far. Overall much more pleased with it than my previous smurf attempts. I have pretty much completed the blue armour and started working on...

I was hoping to have got this kicked off earlier, but such is the way of Christmas holidays! As discussed in this topic I\'m scratch building an Epic Knight in 28mm scale. I\'ve decided to plump for a Knight Errant, at least to begin with, and now have the initial design knocked up (the...

Hi All, General question to everybody really. As I mentioned in one thread a while back, Christmas is almost here and I\'m lucky enough to have eleven days off work, I\'ve managed to complete most of the private work that I\'ve allowed to build up and had a marathon decorating bash this...
