I got a box of bits in an ebay auction and I don\'t know what they are for - some of the smaller pieces are still attached to sprue that is clearly labelled Ral Partha, so I am guessing Battletech, but there are also some plastic pieces. Can anyone ID these, and would anyone be interested in...

Our twins (boy and a girl) were born last Friday and are healthy and happy. Just wanted to share! I may not get around to painting more minis for awhile...

I was reading about this Hadron Super Collider that they are preparing to turn on in a few days in Europe, and about the people up in arms about how it will create a black hole and destroy the Earth. My superficial understanding of the story is that there is no foundation for their fears. My...

Anyone familiar with the Elfquest series by Wendy and Richard Pini may be interested in this: http://www.comicmix.com/news/2008/07/09/elfquest-movie-moves-ahead/ Crossing my fingers that they don\'t completely butcher it...

This Capitol One ad cracks me up every time I see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yosTIwbFjzM&feature=related I would love to see what a War Kitten actually looks like. That is a mini I would definitely paint!lol

I was googling images for inspiration for a snake mini I intend to paint, and found this amazing image: http://timesnews.typepad.com/news/2006/09/sheep_in_a_snak.html

Any chance you guys could add Heritage to the list of miniature lines in the gallery? I have posted a few classic Heritage minis, and I know of a few other folks who are into those vintage minis as well. Thanks!

This will likely fall mostly on deaf ears, but I was wondering if anyone else finds the widely accepted technique of sticking minis on top of a piece of cork and then painting it to look like a big boulder a bit weird? I know it is silly to complain about realism in a hobby that caters to...

Here are some of my recent posts - thanks for any feedback! WoTC Diablo II Bloodhawk http://www.coolminiornot.com/178977 Grenadier Museum Scale Ranger http://www.coolminiornot.com/181338 Grenadier Bith Musicians from Star Wars http://www.coolminiornot.com/183222 Ral Partha Bone Woman from...

Here are a couple of minis that I would like some help identifying: The top little monster looks like a cross between a bat and Mothra. Almost reminds me of a Cthulhuesqe creature, but I have never seen it in auctions of Cthulhu minis. The second is a Ral Partha mini that I am going to...

While at a Museum display of Native American art in northern Arizona recently, I came across some beautiful Kachinas (not the tourist trap garbage - these are carved/sculpted by professional artists and go for at minimum several hundreds of dollars), and thought that they would be great as...

My wife and I were cruising the used DVD section at our local Half Price Books store and my jaw dropped when I saw \"The Last Unicorn\". I hardly remembered anything about the movie except that I absolutely loved it as a kid. Needless to say, I bought it, and after watching it I can say that...

Not much else to say - I saw this recently and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would recommend it. It is a character-driven story, and aspiring musicians or those interested in the music scene would also most likely really enjoy it. Check it out.

As a moderate film buff and hopeless addict to all things sci-fi/fantasy on TV, I have seen quite a few movies and shows. I was so annoyed recently by a silly convention that is overused that I thought it would be fun to list a few of them. I am sure others here can expand the list. 1. A...

Here are a few minis I have submitted recently. Some eclectic and older stuff. Thanks for any suggestions! http://www.coolminiornot.com/169629 http://www.coolminiornot.com/172974 http://www.coolminiornot.com/174124 http://www.coolminiornot.com/175984 http://www.coolminiornot.com/177697

Potentially another controversial topic. I don\'t have kids, so I don\'t really have an educated opinion about this, but I tend to think that overall it is not a good idea. It seems to me that it eliminates important social interaction, and potentially dilutes the quality of the education...

My wife and I carved pumpkins this year, and I got to thinking that there are probably some great pumpkin carvers in the CMON community. Post your work! I admit that we followed some templates that came with the carving tools, but maybe I\'ll try something more original next year.

Anyone know who makes these? No identifying marks that I could find anywhere, and they are about twice the size old Ral Partha or Grenadier minis.

The Zombie Survival Guide Thread got me thinking about some silly questions. If a zombie keeps rotting, does it eventually become a skeleton? Which undead critter freaks you out the most? Mine would have to be the Penangalan from the old Fiend Folio. What\'s scarier than a flying...

I am working on completing a partial boxed set of Grenadier Demons. Here is the Stuff of Legends Picture link: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/grenadier/images/6006.jpg On the top row, I need the summoning circle. Bottom row, I need the 2 on the far left, and the succubus/erinyes/whatever...
