Eastern Front Studios opens doors

why oh why....

There are some very nicely scultped minis here.

My only comment is that I don\'t particularly care for the intergrated metal base that seems to be on most of them. Although, it does work for a few (like that paladin coming down the stairs).

But that is just a small quibble. The Underwater stuff is great. Great idea, and a whole new realm of minis to explore.

Good site too. I like the flash stuff, it looks impressive....


Good luck.

Isn\'t that what dremels are for?

No. Dremels are for cutting into my thumb at 15000 RPMs. Or throwing sparks at me. Or zipping through the one part I didn\'t want to cut.

lollollol

That was just me complaining, I don\'t get along very well with my Dremel, I think he has a personal problem with me.

Just a minor quibble.

but you shouldn\'t have bought the blood drinking transylvanian ones, but the nice vegetarian ones....I have a transylvanian one too, and if it really is a problem, try feeding it dead mice. Wrks for me...

 

[supervike]

I should have known....

When I saw that there was no reflection in my Dremel when I held it up to the mirror, that should have tipped me off.

Slow learner, I guess....lol

Man you guys are so gaga! lol

 

[supervike]

hey hey....

I resemble that remark!!!lol

 

[t_haye2]

gaga? what?waddayamean! My dremel does drink blood! And I do have a modelling knife that\'s trying to kill me...don\'t you??!?!

 

[Gypsy]

No, I don\'t have such problems because my brand new Dremel is still sleeping in its coffin, I mean box.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Why is it you guys have a problem with the Dremel and safety. Mines never hurt me. (Famous last words!)

Anyhow Tammy with your track record with sharp impliments should you be using one.

Might as well complete the thread hijacking

My dremel always \"gums up\"(if you know what I mean) with the metal it cuts away. Are there any attachments or tips on how to avoid this...

 

[t_haye2]

well, depends on the bits you use. The sanding one will clog up real fast, i use the metal cutters, they don\'t clog up ,and can cut a lot better. Be careful though, because they can take off more than they\'re supposed to! but then again, if you have vegetarian ones, that\'s not a problem

Thanks for the tip. I used the good ol\' hacksaw to take a giant apart. It was time consuming but it worked.

Here\'s a tip...always dip your bit in a little cooking-oil before working on white-metal areas; you will end up with much smaller burrs (almost dust) that will not stick together and clog the teeth of the bit.

Thanks Unclehex I\'ll have to try that. I still have some black orcs that need some work.
