Working on a pirate and hoping to get some feedback and suggestions. The pirate is coming along i need to do some clean up on the strips on his pants. I may need to do some more blending on dark greens to lighter greens on his skin. It looks okay to the naked eye but if i use a flash it...

I've never tried to do any sculpting, but i couldn't resist giving this a try. I'm working with polymer clay. This is Sergeant Schlock from Schlock mercenary, a web comic. If you haven't given it a try, you're missing out. If nothing else, look up the seventy maxims of maximally effective...

I've been working on this one for a bit and I think it's coming together. Like most projects it kept expanding. My idea was the dragon on a rock outcropping, but then i thought it need to be in more of a tropical rain forest setting for the colors to make sense. This is my attempt to make it...

I started this miniature with the idea that the sword would be lite with green lightening and the light would be reflected on the rest of the miniature. This is my first real attempt at OSL. In truth, I should be more focused on thinning down my paints, doing more layers and being more patient...

Working on a base for miniature I've painted. I have an idea but could really use some suggestions on methods and materials. The miniature is a pirate and i want to put him on a pier in a bayou. I've knocked out a pier to get a sense of scale out of basswood. Ideally the tableau will have...

Posting some pictures of my WIP of Kaptain Gorak. By my standards its been coming along okay. No Crystal brush for me! It's a fun miniature to paint and I have some ideas about how to base him. Looking for any advice and feedback anyone has to offer. I'm not very happy with the waist...

Hey anyone trying make a base for my min that will create the illusion of air movement. I have some long grass I am going to add to the base. But how can I make it look like it is bending in the wind? I am tempted to try hairspray!. Any suggestions? Thanks EBITDAR

Hey All There was a couple of miniatures posted by a place in Paris that displays/sells miniatures. Looked like it would be a cool place to visit, but now I can't remember the name or find the miniatures. If anyone has a clue let me know. I'm going to be there on Wednesday. How will they...

I was playing around looking for some new minis and came across Alnariel Night Elf on Ebay. A couple of things strike me as odd. It is half the price as on coolminiornot (sold out). It also looks like it direct ships from Thailand. I don't want to buy knock off mini's . Much rather support...

Hi All My first time posting a WIP. However, I've read a number of them and they've been helpful so thought i'd try. Also I'm hoping this will help me keep moving forward! I kind of bit off more than I thought on this one. This started when i started painting Arlith Silent Shadow. I really...

Okay - starting off with the dumb questions. How do you insert pictures into a WIP?? I tried insert image. I tried attachments Trying to start a WiP and can't even do that. :( EBITDAR PS also typing is challenge. Some keystrokes get dropped.

I see so many mini's that were painted for this contest or that contest. is there somewhere to go to get a list of what is the list of competitions ? I'd be very interested in seeing some of these live. Preferably on the east coast,but I can travel.

I am curious / puzzled about the economics of miniature painting. -I'm tempted to call this micro economics, but that would be wrong. I see lots of truly great mini's on this site. Some number of them are for sale. I haven't seen a lot of bidding for them. Do they ever sell? I also see some...

Hello All On my last mini I worked really hard on the highlights. Then I hit it with a couple coats of poly and they disappeared. I went heavy because the base was supposed to be snow. Is this a thing? Do I just need to poly the base first? Or is there a better way to seal a mini? Can I...
