Didn't have high hopes for this from the outset (given the pseudo-history endemic to Gladiator and Kingdom Of Heaven) but from what I've heard about it now it's just a disaster on so many levels. SPOILER ALERT First off, Crowe is just too old for the storyline they went with; the film starts...

...but how good is your colour vision*? Some of the newer members might not have seen this test which was posted here a couple of years back, anyone that hasn't taken it before might like to see how they do. Warning: some risk of your eyes feeling like they've been peeled by the time you're...

Just saw this in a modelling mag on Friday, Vallejo have just launched a new acrylic-urethane primer (in grey) so I thought I'd mention it for anyone looking for an option for both airbrush or brush application. No pics online that I can find so far but I'm sure it'll be available from the...

Peter Graves, probably best known as Jim Phelps on "Mission: Impossible", passed away yesterday, just shy of 84. Early seasons of the series are currently being shown every weekday on one of the channels of the standard Sky package for anyone who wants a trip down memory lane. Einion

Sad news for any fans of the Spenser or Jesse Stone novels, Robert B. Parker died at his desk last week, aged 77 :sad: Telegraph obit. Einion

Liking it! Not sure about violet and yellow as a combo (blue and orange?) but much prefer the type portion to the one from the last couple of weeks. Einion

I don't know if this is just the way CMON is set up now but over the last few months while I am logged into the forums I'm not logged into the gallery portion of the site. When I do log into the galleries the session expires very quickly - even in a single day I might have to log in again. Any...

With the recent fears of Future/Klear being discontinued I was sad to see just now that it looks like Tenax-7R will soon be unavailable due to recent changes in EPA regulations. Anyone use it for their plastic kits, do you have an alternative in mind? Einion

I'm heading off for the weekend so I thought I'd wish everyone a happy new year before I go. Have a good one all :beerwave: Einion

Found this by accident over the weekend and thought I'd post it for any Canon users (fourth item on the page, uses an open-source firmware hack): http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/04/four-camera-hac/ Although anything it adds is going to be a plus I think the nugget is adding RAW support to...

Oo arr, how be ye this fine day?

One thing\'s for sure, working much larger than you\'re used to - a good couple of steps up from your normal scale - often means having to adapt working methods to achieve results you\'re happy with, at the least using much larger brushes and at the extreme end I suppose is shifting to an...

He lost his fight against pancreatic cancer yesterday, dying at home \"peacefully... with family at his side\". Einion

True Blood started over here recently and I was shocked to see it\'s the #1 rated show on TV.com the last couple of weeks. Now the fact that Entourage is at #3 and Smallville is in the top ten do help put this into perspective but still... if anyone here watches it, does it get better in...

3,000th post So I wanted to do something to commemorate and seeing as it\'s been a while since we had a good quotes thread welcome to Einion\'s Annual Movie-Quotes Quiz 2009™ These are mostly from big films, with quite a few blockbusters, so there\'s a decent chance that a lot of you have...
