Hi folks I guess most folks here know me as a mini painter (though, other than a 2nd place at Salute earlier this year, which I REALLY must photograph and get up on here, I haven't done much since the 2009 Slayer Sword!) Well, as well as mini painting, my other hobby is LEGO building, I am...

Hi all Ok, taking a cue from the Spanish team and the great \'painters banquet\' we attended last year at GD Spain, Platoon Britannica would like to invite all painters, UK and International, who are attending the UK demons on Sept 27th, to come along to a painters meet and meal the evening...

Hi all!!! Ok, first off sorry for the wait... Dave (Kaine) has been working his butt off with \'intermittent\' feedback from me and the other guys and has finally got the new PB website and the awesome new forum up and running!!! Without wanting to in any way detract from CMON... we really...

Hi all Myself and a few members of Team Harrow (Platoon Britannica) are heading up to Telford for the IPMS \'Scale Model World\' show this Sunday.... http://www.ipms-uk.co.uk/smw_2008.htm Went last year and had a great time... tons of very nice models there inc historical minis, lots of...

Hi all Ok, I\'m re-photographing and re-submitting some of my past minis due to my now having a decent monitor and being able to actually put up some decent pics (hopefully!) This was my \'Subject 42 has escaped\' model which was entered in the Salute painting comp in April. It\'s based on...

Hi folks! Ok, now I\'ve got my new shiny LCD monitor up and running I am working my way through re-photographing and re-submitting my recent minis. The old pics really were pretty damn awful :-) Anyway, here\'s one of the first re-shoots I\'ve done... This is my Krieg Quartermaster from GD...

Hi all... Firstly my apologies to the mods if this is deemed the wrong forum, hopefully you\'ll agree this needs to get out to everyone. I\'ve just spoken to Lise at WHW about the winners day in April next year for the UK demon winners. Apparently, due to a few hand written addresses they...

Erm..... my thread about the land speed record has vanished... did someone say something unpleasant on it? Did I? was it deemed to OT even for the general discussion forum? Has it just been moved? I wish when a thread was pulled or moved by the mods they\'d at LEAST tell the thread...

Just heard the news that Richard Noble is working on a new land speed record car... this time aiming for 1000mph. Great news... apart from the fact that I\'ve found out that someone I\'ve had personal dealings with in the past and who I personally regard to be the most clueless and contemptible...

Woohooooo!!!! Got my invite in the post this morning, winners day from the 2008 UK demons is on Friday Apr 3rd next year (the Friday after Salute). Seems all the UK winners models will be going on display in the cabinets in the miniatures hall at WHW for two months next year... which is very...

So... I know a lot of folks have children who have shown an interest in gaming or mini-painting... but other than that, how do people find their families treat their hobby? The only reason I ask is that whilst my wife is supportive and despite having no real interest in fantasy or sci-fi what...

Hi folks... As a few people had asked about it, I thought I\'d do a quick \'posthumous\' WIP for my Macharius Vanquisher project to show some of the brass etch bits etc. So, to start things off, here\'s the brass etch sheet showing some of the components before they were removed and applied...

Hi all Ok, last one... This was my WHF single entry in GDUK this year, a converted empire battle wizard. http://www.coolminiornot.com/202672 Hopefully these pics are ok, have applied lessons learnt on getting the pics right for the demonette to this guy too so they should be an improvement...

Hi all.... Ok, so here\'s a few slightly better pics of the Macharius Vanquisher which I entered in GDUK this year (having had it fail to get judged in GD Spain)... this model represents about 190 - 200hrs total work now including the 15 - 20hrs of tweaking in-between the two competitions. As...

Hi all!! Ok, having been away a couple of weeks (much needed holiday) I\'ve finally had a chance to take a few ok piccies of my three GDUK entries. This first one is my Slanesh Demonette assassin which took a silver in 40K single (much to my utter amazement). Whilst I generally dislike...

Ok, maybe it\'s just me and my damaged mind... but does anyone else have dreams about painting in the lead-up to events and competitions? The last few GD\'s I\'ve had recurring dreams in the weeks leading up to the event where I suddenly realise on the day of the event that I haven\'t finished...

Hi folks! Finally got back from Salute today and thought I\'d pop my fantasy single entry up, which I\'ve been tinkering away on the last few weeks... http://www.coolminiornot.com/188226 This is one of Enigma\'s dribble-worthy \'Lathiem\' barbarians... when I got him and took him out of...

Hi folks... Don\'t want to steal the entire bandwidth of CMON for the same subject... but wanted to get a thread started on here for the UK mini painting event which is announced here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=26261 It\'s not until July, but we wanted to start...

Dear all.... Ok, this has been some while in the making, and a few of you already know about this.... but it\'s finally time to announce this to the world! I\'ll start with a short pre-amble!... I got back into painting two and a half years ago after an 18 year odd gap. Realising very...

Hi folks... If there is already a thread about this, I appologise as I must have missed it... It appears that GW have discontinued their entire inks range, and it is now impossible to get them anywhere... which came as a bit of a shock given how much I use them and that I just went up to...
