I haven't done much painting for a while. Coming up on a decade, I think. But this hobby always seems to call us back, doesn't it? I don't know if even the old-timers will remember me, as I sort of faded in and out a lot, even at my most active. Been through some things, like everyone...

Hi, all. Long time no see. I'm once again delving back into the hobby. You can't keep a good brush-licker down, I guess. Right now, I'm hunting for the colour chart that shows manufacturer equivalents, and I can't seem to find it. I'm working with Vallejo Game and Model Colors, and need to find...

Promotion at work. Moved. Still painting from time to time. Back to lurking at random intervals. If anyone wants to get me a 'Cang the Implacable' for Christmas....

Yup. I'm back in England, though this time, not for a happy visit. Both of my wife's grandparents died, a month apart to the day. I'm here helping get things organized. From the time I got the word to the time I stepped out of Customs... Elapsed time: 16 hours 3 minutes. Who says airlines can't...

I\'ve been thinking about this question a lot, over the last week or two, as I\'m gearing up to start a new D&D campaign with my gaming group in the next few weeks. Before I get into this, though, I want to say that I am, I think, very lucky to have a good, solid group of gamers that believe...

Following the currect trend of \'The Best...\'... What\'s the best sandwich? For me, it\'s a specialized thing from a long-gone restaurant called \"Wolfies\" The Wolfie. (Yes, that\'s what they called it) Two large, thin potato latkes sandwiched around hot pastrami with two monstrously thick...

Yup. I\'m not painting or anything, yet, but some of you may be interested to know that I\'ll be in London for most of 2 weeks, starting March 29th (when my plane lands). Anyone over there that would like to meet me, have a pint, or something, send me a PM so\'s I can contact you while I\'m...

Isaac Hayes, voice of the Chef from Southpark, The Duke in \'Escape From New York\', deep-voiced crooner of the Theme from Shaft... has left us. So has Bernie Mac.

I have sold it. I have no more minis to paint. Financial needs outweighed my desire to continue with the hobby. But, I\'ll still be around to be sarcastic at you all, from time to time. And who knows? If things turn around, I\'ll probably pick up some pewter and the brushes again. I won\'t...

Well, I think I\'ve actually improved a bit in photography. Still lacking all the right stuff I need for good lights, but these aren\'t total crap. Initially, I was aiming for a kind of blue-grey skin on him, but I messed up on one of the washes, and the resulting colour made him look more...

I bought Privateer Press\'s Vayl, Disciple of Everblight, today. Very pretty sculpt, I think, and I don\'t want to stick to the \'standard\' colour scheme with her. She looks regal and exceptionally feminine, so I\'m thinking to do her in much more... \'girly\' colours. At the same time, I also...

Kind of could be attached to the \'best video game ever\' thread, this one... Akon\'s \"Blame it on Me\" \"Blame it on Halo 3\" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOkF0McZKIw&feature=related

Ok. I\'ve complained about my lousy photography frequently. It\'s dragged me down on a number of minis that I honestly believe are worth more on the ratings than they\'re getting. Meh. That\'s neither here nor there. Right now, I\'m actually just about ready to throw my camera out the window...

Maybe you\'ve seen it before. Maybe not. I laughed. Thought it worth sharing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uSlqI1AVUk&NR=1

So, after doing some decent hair in green stuff, I\'m getting bolder, and am going to try to sculpt something original. Using Sculpey... I have one question right now, and probably lots more to come... When adding things on, do I bake the piece, add on, bake again, or do I have to put it all...

So, I\'ve gotten hired to paint again. Yay me! And this is the first of 6 minis in the work. He still needs his keg painted and attached, darklining, varnish and basing. Any suggestions before I get to those things? And don\'t suggest changing to NMM, because I still suck at that. :)

Having spent a good long time fearing cutting things up and not being able to put them together in a presentable manner, it\'s taken me quite a while to actually make a real effort at it, despite talking about the how-to\'s with people quite often... I finally put myself to the test. It began...

I\'ve just been doing a bunch of voting, and even some commenting, and I noticed something that I, personally, am inclined to disagree with... The worded descriptions of the rating values. I noticed that the first step above \'tabletop quality\' is \'not bad\'. With these in this order, the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQLJ-Q-pJ_k Decent work with sounds. Animation\'s probably drug-inspired.

Maybe this belongs in the trading post.. I dunno. I\'m looking for someone to sculpt (I\'ve tried, I can\'t) a miniature (28mm scale) that\'ll be one of a kind, for my wife. She\'s done numerous drawings of the character in question, which can be provided as a fairly decent guide in the...
