Somewhere, sometime, I read an article/tutorial on using kosher salt in a technique for weathering. Essentially, as I remember it, the salt was used as a mask and then painted over, only to be removed later letting a previously painted undercoat show through. I can't seem to find that article...

In about four years of painting minis, I've only used orange for extreme highlights on some reds. I've never actually painted anything orange. I'm in the midst of putting together a Bretonnian army and I'm working on some Knights of the Realm. One of their caparisons will be painted...

Does anyone know of an online dealer who sells Pegaso\'s lines in the United States? I think I can order directly from them but being overseas, they require a specific dollar amount and my payment would have to be converted to Euros. I\'ve checked all my \"go to\" sites and haven\'t found...

Anyone know a good place? I\'ve checked everywhere I know of and if they even have it listed, it appears to be out of stock... I checked the Kraken store, but it keeps telling me that I need to select another product because it only ships to France? ???

Okay, so these new banner ads I\'m seeing that expand to fill your screen and cover up everything workable are really friggin\' annoying. They\'re as bad as popups :mad: They\'re also getting VERY popular because I\'m seeing them everywhere these days. Do the advertisers think they\'ll...

Well, baby rock has been cookin\' in the oven for about nine months now and the doc has informed Mrs. Rock that if he doesn\'t make an appearance by Thanksgiving, we induce the following morning. So come hell or high water, we have baby number two by the end of the week :beer: Who me...

Andrea, Pegaso, etc. Anyone have a reputable dealer than can refer me to or should I just look at buying direct? And since that should be a fairly easy question to answer I had another one specifically directed at Ritual: You mentioned in a previous thread that some historical modelers...

It\'s been a while since we had a caption it and I could use a smile. Caption the following: Having spent a significant amount of time in the USA, Yao readjusts to traditional Chinese food.

Read any good books lately? Particularly regarding the hobby, I mean. I\'m looking for some good instructional titles that may focus in particular on historical painting. I\'d like more information on achieving the realism that historical modellers often get with their work. Don\'t get me...

When I look at pictures on CMON I often have trouble determining scale in reality. With that in mind, I have a simple question: on a typical 30mm mini with a nicely appointed base, is it typical to use a 25mm base or a larger one? I know that there are times when you\'d want a larger one...

Hey guys, I\'m looking for a mini that has that almost ninja-like assassin look to it. Something similar to the artwork from Assassin\'s creed: If you could link or post a pic of anything you know of that is in the same vein I\'d appreciate it much. I did a search for \"assassin\" on the...

I really like some of the gamezone miniatures I\'ve seen around here, particularly those in their feudal knights range. Any suggestions as to an online supplier I can buy them from in the US? Anyone have any experience with gamezone minis? What\'s their story?

Can you guys post pics or links to models that have been painted with an effect similar to the one below somewhere in the composition? Disregard color, I\'m just looking for the effect itself as reference. I know I\'ve seen a couple but I didn\'t save them and now I can seem to find them...

Round one is over and the results have been posted in terms of score. Round two may be over too, though I\'m not sure. My question is: is there a place I can look on the wyrd forums to see a collection of the photos of the entries? Is there a thread over there? Can someone give me the title...

I\'d really like to participate in the Iron Painter this go. The thing is that I\'m going to be going out of town on business during the first round of the comp for one solid week. Naturally, I won\'t be able to finish the job in just the one remaining week without mortgaging my family and...

I could have shared this thread with MPJ but I wanted my own. I was so hoping that someone would have remembered my birthday (especially since I\'ve been dropping hints for a week now). But since you all suck I\'ll just wish myself a happy one! Oh, and I\'m both younger, and prettier than MPJ...

A buddy e-mailed this link to me. It\'s a LARP \'documentary\' done \'Office\' style. Hilarious. Enjoy

My wife awakened me yesterday morning to the news that we are expecting an additional tricycle motor. My son just turned four last Wednesday and this will be our second. Seeing as how my trip to ReaperCon isn\'t going to work out for my Birthday this Friday I suppose this is a pretty fair...

Okay, so after seeing several of Rev\'s posts about theologyonline.com, I decided to poke around over there for a little while and make a post or two to fish for rationality. I caught the moral and intellectual equivalent of an old boot, a muddy tire, and snagged my line on more than one...
