For the first time ever I am teaching classes at GenCON, though I've worked as a Paint and Take instructor for years. One of the things that kept coming up while I was instructorating was that people didn't know how to assemble and prep miniatures, or do simple conversions. I am teaching...

Here\'s the link to the Wolfpriest. Wolf Priest All my other auctions The rest of the items are mostly ready to paint Skorne for Privateer\'s Hordes, and some ready to paint Nurgle conversions of space marines with a bunch of stuff mixed in from the Forge World Deathguard kit. The skorne...

I got the boxed set of the new Marauder horsemen. Not because I play the game, but just out of the pure novelty of GW selling minis that\'re dirt cheap by comparison to some other manufacturers. *cough*PP*cough* I\'ve got them all assembled up with spears and shields and hand weapons. I\'ve...

Haven\'t played WFB in nearly a decade, but thought it might be fun to give it a spin again. This needs to be a starter point for an escalation league. I\'ve got the following things assembled from a plastics box: A plastic beastman converted to have a big double handed axe with some mighty...

First impression out of the box: This is not a pocket camera, which is good because that\'s not what I wanted. I wanted an updated version of my old Olympus, and I was willing to trade size for a better lens and a larger CCD. This camera is smaller and lighter than my old camera. It fits a...

I should have asked this BEFORE I made the order, but have any of you got any experience with this camera. I finally decided on it because: A ) It\'s a Canon, and people talk up the quality of their lenses B ) It\'s the right type of camera in the right price range. C ) It\'s new, and I\'ve had...

People suggested I look to critique on models in progress if I seek to advance in skill, so here it is. What am I doing wrong that my minis are getting 6.5 or so when I post them? I thought I was pretty good... :(

So here\'s something that\'s been bothering/confusing me for some time. How is it that some people struggle and struggle with miniature painting or sculpting. Really struggle. I\'ve been at it on and off for several years now and only just cracked 8.0 once. I\'m hardly alone with my frustration...

Just resubmitted this picture (my photo kung-fu was weak after two years off) and I still have no idea who manufactured this model. I got it in trade from another painter who\'d bought it as part of a kit with another model and tossed this one aside. I just reckoned it\'d be a fun practice...

I\'m doing some camera buying research, and I know you guys can help me out. Most of you being better photographers than I. I didn\'t know this could happen, but appearantly CCDs inside digital cameras can die. Explains a lot about why my recent photos with my camera have been so crappy despite...

I\'ve got a dozen and a half things up on ebay. Here\'s the link to all my auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZringsnakeQQhtZ-1 Of most interest to CMON people will be a massive (like five pounds) collection of bits and pieces from up and down the ranges of GW, Reaper, I-Kore, and Cel...

This is a big purge of stuff. I have no money for minis, and I want to buy more stuff. Let my misfortune be your savings. Most of it is reaper and war machine, but I\'m also selling my one 8.0+ scored mini as well. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZringsnakeQQhtZ-1

I was getting pretty depressed at my \"slow\" rate of improvement. I figured that within four years of mini painting for quality rather than to slather paint on wargaming minis I should be up to the level of at least pulling 8\'s or higher on CMON. However, I dug up some of my pics of four year...
