    What\'s your favorite brush shape?

    Currently my favorite brush is a 0 flat brush. The tip is quite fine, so painting details isn\'t a real problem and it\'s great for larger surfaces. For very large surfaces I use a larger round brush, and for the really small details or fine lines a regular 00. I think I\'m using that flat 0...

    Removing metal from feet

    I want to get rid of this metal strip under the feet of the mini because I want to place it on a base that is covered with tiles. Because it\'s impossible to put the tiles on after the mini has been glued to the base (and create a realistic look of the mini really standing on the tiles), I want...

    Fallen leafs

    How can I create fallen leafs on the ground, like in the picture below? They appear to be cut out by hand and painted afterwards, but they look too thin to be normal paper. Do hobby shops offer a solution? http://www.coolminiornot.com/index.php?id=20639&c=All&m=All&nm=none

    Tau painting question

    I\'m having a little difficulty painting my Tau models... I always give them a black basecoat, but this makes it very hard to paint on the vomit brown. It takes me at least 4 layers of (thinned) paint to achieve a smooth look. The result looks ok...

    Tiled floor

    How can I make the base of the mini appear as a tiled floor, preferrably an old castle-like floor. Somewhere I read something about using cardboard, but I\'m not sure if the result is good and that my mini will stick to it when using it for wargaming... Thanks.

    My new mini scores lower than I expected

    Heya friends, Last wednesday I uploaded my latest mini: a Kroot Shaper. Here\'s the pic: http://www.coolminiornot.com/index.php?id=22749&c=All&m=All&nm=none. It is by far my best mini so far. I tried some new stuff on it (NMM, a decent base, etc), and some effects like the shades and...

    Holding your mini while painting

    When I am painting I sometimes notice that some edges of the mini have paint rubbed off by holding the mini. Retouching this afterwards is necessary of course, but not always give good results. I try to hold the figure by its base most of the time, but sometimes you accidently hold your hand...

    Looking for free webspace

    Does anyone know a of a good free webspace provider? I don\'t need that much space, php and other scripting would be nice, but is not mandatory. The most important thing is the advertising: a popup now and then is ok, but I am not looking for one of those providers that insert their own banners...

    Shading/highlighting and painting in batches...

    I\'m having a small problem here... the skin color of my second batch of Kroot Carnivores (WH40k) looks totally different from the first one... This is because I used Camo Green as the base color and created shading and highlighting effects by adding black and rotting flesh/white. But of...

    question about ranking system

    I have a question about the rank you can consult in your members area. A few days ago I deleted some old minis with low scores (below 6) and added some new pictures from which most have a score of +6. But my rank is still the same... So my question is: when is this updated??

    Another Tau painting question...

    I\'m planning on painting my Tau army with the GW color scheme (vomit brown for Tau, camo green & rotting flesh for Kroot). Now what colors do the eyes of these two races have? I don\'t think it\'s very clear in the codex... Any clues?
