Hi All, I had a sudden burst of inspiration the other day after I realised that I\'ve got a week and a half off for Christmas and should have all of my website projects completed by then. For the first time in ages I may actually have time to myself :D So in a attempt to put this time to...

Just wondered if anybody else finds this. You\'re working great guns on some project or other and something comes along (not mini related) and you spend a chunk of time doing something else - decorating, computer project, work etc. Then you finally get some free time and just can\'t bear to...

Going to be getting a box of these at some point in the future and just wondering if somebody could answer a couple of questions. I\'ve read somewhere that there are a total of 8 heavy weapons in the box of plastics - does this mean 8 heavy weapons as in arms/guns/backpacks or 8 whole marines...

Been painting these models on and off for the past few weeks, so thought I\'d get up a WIP post. Apologies on the somewhat poorly light balanced photo\'s, the weather in the UK is pap and my light tent is currently at work as I\'m having to do product shots for a website I\'m creating. These...

More of a heads up incase anybody else was going to try it. I just went to mix up a pot of the Necron Abyss Foundation paint ready to pop into my airbrush. As I had some I thought I\'d use Tamiya Acrylic Thinners and I recall reading somewhere that a 50/50 mix works OK... Well all I can say...

Finally got round to undercoating the first squad of marines for an Ultramarine army I\'m starting to collect and am not sure what colour to paint the chest eagles on them... When I was doing Space Wolves I used bleached bone washed with snakebite leather (simply explained, they were...

I\'ve just started messing around with my (fairly) new Airbrush (Badger 200) and have decided that I\'m going to get a compressor for it. Although I don\'t mind using canisters, I feel that they\'re going to get expensive and as I can\'t buy them locally they\'ll all have to be done mail order...

Hi all, I\'ve finally started to get back into the old painting again in an effort to cut back on the amount of time I spend on a computer. Now after watching the first miniature mentor video I decided to have another go at using a white undercoat and in the same way as the video shows I used...

<p>Some time ago (as in over 18 months) I bought a Forge World Bloodthirster.&nbsp; I've been doing very tiny little bits of work on this over time, though never really made any major painting in-roads.&nbsp; Construction wise though the model is pretty much their.&nbsp; The wings are primed and...

<p>I took the plunge yesterday and bought the &quot;Complete Solution&quot; <a title="Miniature Mentor Painting Videos" href="http://www.miniaturementor.com/painting_tutorials.html" target="_blank">Miniature Mentor</a> video.&nbsp; I must admit I'm very impressed with it.&nbsp; The camera work...

<p>Realised that all CMoN users get a free blog - so have set one up to cover all of the various painting and modelling projects I'm currently up to.&nbsp; I'll get some piccies of a few bits and bobs done at some point soon.</p><p>Being slightly critical, the overall blog format isn't as...

Hi All, This likely contains the daftest question you\'re going to see on here for a bit, but hey :) I also have a couple of slightly more sensible question as well. I\'ve recently bought an airbrush, a number of empty containers and some new pots of paint (all GW). My intention is to decant...

Hi all, it seems like a long time since I\'ve been about, due to various things such as real-life (which seems to just get in the way of everything). Anyway, I\'ve finally made a concerted effort to pull my finger out and commit some time to painting mini\'s again. I\'ve replaced many paints...

Just got the wings sprayed for my BloodThirster. Just not 100% sure what colour scheme to paint them. The body is going to be painted the good old traditional Ruddy Red. Got a few thoughts, could either go for a similar scheme to FW (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Chaos/btp10.jpg) A flesh...

What I hope to be the first of a few WIP posts of my FW BloodThirster project. Both wings are now ready to prime. The body still needs quite a bit of work on it, including sculpting two new fangs, as both of the buggers had air bubbles in them :( Pic 1: Bulked up the areas where the wings...

I\'ve had a couple of go\'s at sculpting little skulls onto various mini\'s in the past - all have turned out either like a bogie, or something that resembles a smilie :) I\'m sure that I\'m not the only person in the world who\'s ever wanted to do this. Having a look on t\'internet I could...

Just thought I\'d post up the mini I\'m working on atm. Not my best work to be honest, but in my defense I\'m bunged up with the lurgy (have been for over a week now). Link to 61Kb big pic Not happy with the red/white leg, theres not enough definition for my liking. Eyes need doing when...

Not been about for a few weeks due to Xmas parties and wotnot, so sorry for the lack of posts etc :) Spotted this in the back of the cupboard, and having become very, very, very bored of painting brown (wood elves), thought I\'d paint it up this coming weekend. I\'m stumped on what to do with...

I\'ve finally started my wood elf army, and have decided to use brass etch leaves on my dryads, three different types so that I can distingush between three units. I\'ve just had a go at putting a some brass etch on the first one I\'ve assembled: Looks fine from a distance, but up close it...

Ok, fairly simple question. I want to enter a model into the 2007 UK Golden Demon. I was just about to order some Vallejo paints, and it dawned on me - if I paint a model using Vallejo, will I run into problems if I enter it into GD? I\'m taking the stance that using Mediums and the odd...
