Hello, A customer has requested that I paint a wood elf dragon for him. But I\'m not really sure about the price I\'m going to ask for it because I have never seen that thing in real life... How big is this dragon? About how much work do have on it (assembling, painting)? Don\'t worry, I have...

Okay, I know there has already been a lot said about this, but I think I have a good idea to get this comment trading thing going: why not leave a special \"signature\" when you leave comments. Something like a code or name, from which people know the person who left the comments likes to get a...

Before I started mini painting (about 1.5 years ago now) I was really into military modelling. I specialized myself in 1/72 scale German WW2 armour, and other vehicles. I painted them using enamel paints. Thought it would be fun to upload my pics to CMON. To be honest, I find it very difficult...

Hey friends! I have updated my site with an article about last week\'s wargaming event \"Crusade 2003\", in Leopoldsburg, Belgium. It was also the first time I competed in a painting competition :) and I ended second in the single fantasy category with my Sered miniature (ID 30208). Not bad for...

A lot of people asked me how I do certain things, so I decided to start writing a serie of articles on which techniques and tools I use. I started out with the beginning: how I prepare a mini before starting to paint on it. Before reading I should say the article contains the techniques I use...

Hey friends! A little question for all of you. I have a logo here on my pc that I want to paint on space marines tank. Is there a way to have a technique like some sort of carbon copy to transfer this logo to the surface of the tank? It\'s a pretty complex and symmetric logo, so it\'s going to...

Can someone please tell me what type of weapons these Imperial Guard Stormtroopers are carrying? It\'s because I want to paint up a human auxiliaries squad for my Tau army, and those squad members must carry lasguns... so, are these lasguns or not...

I\'m looking for a way to paint nice looking wings, for an angel... I don\'t want any pure white wings (like white shaded with grey or light blue), but a bit beige: like the following picture I have found and would like to use as a reference. Okay, I know you can\'t really see a structure in the...

I plan to create a new section on my site containing several articles. One of these articles is going to be a small FAQ. It might be useful to provide newbies with a list of Q&A\'s, so that this list can be linked to in the future when somebody asks a question that has been askes a lot times...

Hey, Last tuesday my very first auction on ebay was finished, but since then I haven\'t heard a thing from the auction winner... :( In my item description I explicitely stated the auction winner should contact asap and that payment should be received within 3 weekdays... I have sent several...

I saw this picture on a french site, but without saying what mini it is. Can someone help me, because I really like this model (that raven is just very cool ;)), but I don\'t know that much about Warhammer armies to be able to know from which army this one is. Thanks.

Can someone give me a link where I can download fantasy/scifi desktop wallpapers? This link is great: http://www.visualparadox.com/scifi.htm but I really want to see some more. Thanks :D

For those of you who have seen the movie: a small poll. IF YOU HAVEN\'T SEEN IT YET, STOP READING NOW (SPOILERS)! Mainly there are two theories about \"The Real World\". The first is that it IS the real world, and the second is that it is part of the Matrix... I think the second theory...

Funny, but true: These are the commandments of P.A.P.A. (People Against Paintbrush Abuse): Thou shalt treat thine expensive paintbrush with respect. Thou shalt thoroughly clean thy paintbrush after each usage, no matter it\'s age or state of grottiness. Thou shalt not leave thy paintbrush...

I sometimes see miniatures that are still on their bases, but put into a slot in a display base. Any ideas how I can create one? Which material is thick enough to form such a base?

Hey, here\'s a good tip to help you a bit when shaking a Vallejo paint bottle. I tried it last week and it really is helpful. First of all you need those chunks of metal cut from the feet of a mini. Cut them into small bits, about 0.5 cm or a little bit smaller will do just fine. Next, use a...

Hey everyone, here\'s a picture of my Confrontation Valkyrie D\'Alahan: The skin, face and blue armour is finished, I am busy with the golden rims on the armour but have a problem with that: Those details are so small and the small curves on the armour barely rise up from the surface. I tried...

Hey everyone, I was wondering how you do the shading and highlighting of your minis. Do you put on a dark basecoat first and gradually highlight to a lighter color, or do you paint on a basecoat and shade and hightlight afterwards? I do both, but for larger areas (such as cloaks, armour etc) I...
