Hi folks, it looks like I will soon be buying a house. So you know how it goes... HERE AT EBAY are auctions for the figures that I know I won\'t have time to paint in the next 6 months. Right now, bulk of stuff up is Reaper. By this afternoon, I\'ll throw up quite a few OOP Clan Wars and...

I really need some wisdom here - I\'m working on an Ashan\'Tyr figure and the seam on the lower arm has split. On the image, it is located somewhere between the blue and tan bands on the upper left arm. The upper arm is still firmly attached. This means I have a gaping seam on the lower arm...

Argh, these poor dwarves have been languishing unpainted for too long, so the poor things have to go. If you want to get a good, solid foundation for a Confrontation army, please take a moment to check out the 20 or so dwarves who need a good home and a paintbrush. The auction is here -...

I\'m trying to do a pitch-black Confrontation wolfen and I\'ve started ramming my head into a wall. I can\'t get the coat right - Canine black coats are wirey and have so many highlights in light that they look stark white in places. I\'ve got a good example on hand with my own big black dog*...

[Insert twirling pasties joke here] I was refinishing some furniture this past week and picked up “Klean-Strip Brush Cleaner and Conditioner” at Home Depot for around $6. It’s neon green, very hard to miss. It might similar to “Simple Green”, another biodegradable form of cleaning fluid also...

dnaGRIM published an article on what he refers to as the \"cult of clear primer\". A week ago I turned yet another figure into a speckled, lumpy mess after the tip on the primer clogged, so I tried dnaGRIM\'s dullcoat method. Worked pretty well, so I tried it on a second figure. This was a...

This topic draws from the discussion over borrowing ideas a few weeks back, combined with my own debate over how to handle my submission for the new Cool Mini or Not painting competition.* Question - Is there a way to \"patent\" or otherwise register an idea for a paintjob or a conversion? Or...

Hi guys, after exhausing the plumbing supply stores in my area, I\'m about to place my first order for greenstuff. However, being the compulsive buyer I am, I\'d also like to scarf up some minis on the side to feel a bit better about shipping costs. Problem is, all the places I usually use...

I\'m going to be in Atlanta next month and thought I\'d drop in on the WarFair convention. http://www.warfair.org I\'m not going to play - To me, it\'s a store with an admission fee. Is anyone planning to attend? - Otter \"Never send a ferret to do a weasel\'s work\"

Just a little poll to get community views on those aspects of painting that REFUSE to come together no matter how hard you try, no matter how often you try, and no matter how many pennies you throw in the wishing well. For myself, it\'s gems. I\'ve memorized the tutorials and they look like...

A lot of the Warhammer posts now current have mentioned at times the \"gamer\" community. I hope this isn\'t out of place but here is a rant I whipped up when I was really ticked off several months ago after a few bad experiences in a game store (I\'m a professional writer and I do this sort of...

Something very odd is happening with my current paint combination. I laid down a light layer of black ink wash, covered it with two light layers of GW \"Nauseating Blue\", then put a fine layer of I-Kore \"Pale Flesh\" over the blue to base some highlights. The I-Kore layer is incredibly thin...

I\'m looking to paint some black sword/spear blades and would really appreciate a model or some pointers. The final product would probably be more along the lines of NMM (although some metal always finds its way on there). The experiments I\'ve done so far look a little... poopy. If...

I overheard a conversation in the local mini supply shop about clockwork chicken walkers (Think anime mechs crossed with Swatch) for use in fantasy settings. This sounds like a nifty \"best of both worlds\" approach to fantasy gaming and I\'d definately like to see a few pictures. Problem...

I\'m relatively new to mini painting and am still working on setting up a good rig. Thanks to those that took the time to write up and post some great articles! One thing that is problematic for me is lighting. I\'ve tried everything but tikki torches. Right now I have four desk lights...
