Hi all, I haven't had as much time to paint lately so I've spent what time I do have experimenting and trying to get things done quicker. Here are some snaps of what I've been trying out; swapping a brush for sponges and fiddling with pigment powders, static grass, gloss finishes etc. Just...

Here are a couple of shots of a Chaos Vindicator I've been working on. This is one of my first experiments with weathering. I think I might have overdone it? =)

Hi everyone. I just finished some TT Chaos Terminators, the old style lead ones. Here they are: This almost gets me to a painted 2000pt. army, the first time in years I've had such a thing. Pics to follow once the last few things are done.

Hi, So, who gets to do some painting at work? Only jobs where you are not paid to paint count! My friend Wicksy paints at lunchtimes. I would count lunchtimes as "work". Not everybody's workplace is condusive to painting even at lunchtimes, but his is apparently. Mine's not. I don't think. But...

Hi. I went premium today. The help I have had from people on this site has helped me progress and enjoy my painting so much. The gallery is always there for me to drool over and spend time with when I am bored at work. There is so much talent and willing to help here. CMON is a great place to...

Hi, Does anybody know if there have ever been any minis available based on Willow the movie? Thanks. -scott

An experiment in forcing myself to highlight up more, and use more contrast, and colour. Outside my comfort zone for most of the time painting this, but now it\'s done. So what do you like and what do you not like? Votey Link

Anybody seen this in the back of May\'s White Dward and interested in going?

I\'ve amused myself with making some roses and comic book rats and bunnies and am now trying my first figure built around an armature. I\'m not ready for detail or features yet, so thought Eve by Rodin would be a good exercise in general shape, form, posture etc. Anyway. My first ever armature...

Here is my WIP Typhus. Thanks to the help I\'ve got from this site I recently made some little breakthroughs with blending/layering, and have started to get past my \"chalky\" problems! Now, this isn\'t the best model for somebody to be practicing blending on, but it\'s the one I happened to be...

Will there ever be another? =)

I\'ve posted before about a chalky effect I get when I try to improve my blending. Seems as soon as try applying multiple very thin layers, it just dries chalky. It\'s driven me quite mad for around 6 months now, but I\'ve just read in an article: \"Don’t be cheap here, tap water in most cities...

hi, I couldn\'t resist getting some crackle glaze after reading the space marine wip on this board, and although I cannot hope to emulate the quality of that artist\'s work, I think it does kind of make quite good weathered wraithbone! =) Trying to work out how I can make the gems pop out more...

Not that I know anybody who still plays, and not that the local wargames club play anything but WW2 stuff, BUT, my nurgle army is floundering at 750 points. There\'s so much room for conversions, but what models are there to inspire? Not much, and I have to say, the codex is a sad shadow of...

hi all, I\'m hoping I can get some well aimed help. I\'m new to blending, and my wet palette. Previously I\'ve always applied a base coat, shaded with a wash, and applied several thin layers of increasing brightness to get a highlight effect. This is what I\'ve done on eowyn\'s cloak here. Now...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/208553 wonderfully painted in this example! GW make the on foot and mounted minis, but I dont think this eowyn is by GW? who makes it? thanks.

For years I mixed my paints on a ceramic tile to a little thicker than milk and always get on very well. Recently, I have been tyring to up my game in certain ways, and have been trying a wet palette, for the various suggested advantages it offers. I despair. The paint seems too thin, it dries...

So I recently got back into my painting after several years away, and through effort and thinner layers have managed some of the best minis I\'ve ever done (getting around 6-7 on the vote, which is great for me). So then I get into reading up on new techniques on CMON, and I get a DVD, and read...

I\'ve got some questions about some techniques in Bragon\'s DVD. Maybe something was lost in translation, but I find some parts a little difficult to understand. The \"successive washes\" approach makes sense, and I am practicing this on my current mini - Pulling/pushing diluted washes towards...

My aim recently has been to develop a smoother finish to my minis. I have gone some way towards this goal by watering down my paints even more than I used to, and building to highlights over more, thinner coats. Some other things I have been trying are below. With the mini I am painting at the...
