Does anyone know where I could find a female elf figure in current-era clothes? A friend asked me and I can only think of a couple that fit the bill.

This is a model I\'m working on for the Single Figure catagory at Gen Con. They have a Manufacturer Award this year for Pulp Figures, so I\'m working on this lady from Cobblestone. The first pix are from 7/7/2007. This is another update from 7/10:

This year MegaCon painting activities will be bigger and better than ever. We are added classes to our activities. The convention has sponsored Jeff Wilhelm to attend the convention, teach classses and instruct in the Paint and Take area. Reaper Miniatures is supplying models and a full set of...

Well, it may be a bit late to mention this, since the conventionis already over. Still, I had a great time getting a chance to meet some cool folks from CMON. GrailQuest (if you didn\'t see a post elsewhere on this) is held in St. Augustine, not too far from where I live in Jacksonville, FL...

Looks like we Floridians are in for another pounding - Francis is on the way.

I know it\'s a bit late to mention this, but is anyone going to GenCon Indy? I\'ll be there, leaving tomorrow afternoon. If you\'d like to meet me, come by the Reaper demonstration area (there\'s not sale booth for them, so don\'t bother looking) and ask for Mel

The Warlord rule book is due out the end of this month. A special edition was released at Origins that was supposed to be the final edition. Due to errors found by people reading the OLE, publication was haulted and the book went back for another edit. Thanks to the changes made from the OLE...

I have posted the Archaon on Foot miniature from Games Day 2004 for sale on Ebay. You can see the model here on CMON. I will be posting some other figurines on (painted and NIB) in addition to Archaon. There are two Reaper familiars already posted (the third was sold soon after posting on...

Has anyone tried making Purity Seals on Sister of Battle Models? I\'d like to hear what you guys have tried, and how well it worked out. I put a bead of hot glue on the end of small dowel and then used that to take an impression of a detail on a Sister Superior. It makes a fairly decent seal...

My employer has started a program to allow us to buy Sony products at a discount. We can also finance purchases. So... what kind of recommendations do you guys have for a Sony camera for miniature photograpy? No, I haven\'t noted a specific price range. I would like to see what you guys...

I\'ve been painting quite a few greenskined characters lately - dragons, lizardmen, orks, and goblins. I\'ve noticed that green skin seems to work best on top of gray. White makes it look cartoony. Black is too dull. Gray seems just right. Anyone else experience this?

Ever heard the old slogan, \"Guinness is good or you\"? Turns out it\'s true! Guinness is lower in alchohol, calories, and carbs than any beer not specifically labled \"lite\". While doctors have long recommended moderate drinking (about one serving a day) to help prevent heart attacks, a...

I painted a mini using Vallejo Dwarf Flesh as my base coat, then layered up through Elf Flesh and highlit with Pale Flesh. The finished mini had an orange cast. Poor thing looks like she\'s wearing cheap foundation. Anyone else experience this? Got any suggestions on how to avoid this in the...

I know I\'ve had some attrocious camera problems. Finially figured out what the issue was. I was setting the camera up too close to the fig. Doh! ??? I moved it back about another six inches, and everything is so much better. That, and I put my hand by the fig so the camera has something...

You see a mold line on the side of a pre-made pizza and are tempted to file it before baking.

Kat suggested putting veining on the wings of this dragon: http://www.coolminiornot.com/?id=46640 here is a closeup of the wing: Got good use of my Windsor Newtons and Vallejos on this one. Painted the veining in with red and purple (arteries and veins, don\'t ya know), then washed over it...

When you are all by yourself painting, do you ever do something and ask yourself, \"Gee, I wonder if anyone else does that?\" If so, what is it? For example, I\'ll be painting along and get a drop of something in a place I don\'t want it. So I quickly dab my brush in the rinse water and clean...
