I last picked up a brush three years ago. Before that, it was 15 years. Now I'm about to do it all over again, except my paints have all separated. They haven't dried, thank goodness, but now I'm trying to figure out some jury-rigging duct-tape monstrosity to attach to a jigsaw to really...

Hey all, I've been adding inks to my paints when shading, and it's a great smooth result, but it's shiny. :crying: All I'd like to know is if there is any way to remove this without a matt varnish - I've had bad experiences with varnish in the past - it really mucked up my mini's. Now I'm...

Since I'm using mostly Vallejo, I'm in the market for some kind of stand to keep them tidy, organised (:suspicious:)... When I had about 10 colours, it was fine, I could line em up, but now it's approaching 50-60, plus inks, medium, varnish, etc... I thought about making one, but wondered what...

Hi, Assuming I am using a screen at 96dpi (a default setting for many monitors), is there any way I can measure a photo to show a mini at actual size? I use Gimp if that's of any use.... Or even if there is a 96dpi image of a ruler to show a scale that I can overlay as a layer...

Just curious - I used to be swamped by about 10-15 minis in progress. Now I've been working one at a time, but that seems inefficient to me. How many do people typically paint at one time? This is assuming display models, not painting up 50-odd soldiers for some WW2 army or a squad of 10...

Okay, it seems to most logical thing to do next after a couple of fumbling questions - start a project log! This one's mostly going to be about my experiences with a new (to me) technique. I've asked about layering, and now have been trying it out myself. Firstly, if you've not read any other...

Okay, I've created this thread based on something mentioned in my other post about layering. There was a mention of painting light to dark, and this got me thinking - does anyone paint from a highlight, blending into the shadows of a mini? I'm just curious, I might try this as an alternative...

Sorry for the relatively noob question. I've just returned to painting after a break of around 15 years, was pretty much a king of drybrush/washes. I've been watching a lot of clips from youtube, and really want to push my painting skills further. Now I tried some feathering - not too sure on...

Has anyone done this? I know shipping takes an age, but the range is the biggest I've seen in a while, and currency rates are reasonable... Just asking.
