Hey all, I\'m in the middle of a project and looking for some tips. How do you sculpt a backbone (spine) like the one found on many GW Chaos models (such as the 40k Daemon prince on his arm and back)? I\'m considering sculpting it away from the piece I want to add it to. Just sculpt in on a...

Hi folks. When I look at Eldar armies (and a few others), and compare them to many Imperial counter parts, the Eldar really tend to stand out as too \"clean\". Not necessarily \"real\" enough to participate in an atmosphere that is constantly at war. But then again, just skimming through the...

Just curious, how many of you fine folks use Gesso regularly as a brush-on primer (when you can\'t/shouldn\'t spray)? Do you have pictures of completed models that you primed with gesso? I\'m trying it out for the first time, and would like some tips, tricks and to see examples of successful...

Just came back from GD Chi-town, my first GD experience, and was impressed by a number of Golden Demon entries. And there were just as many that could use some work (not necessarily \"bad\", just not as good as some of the winners). One thing that struck me about some of the winners was that...

Yeah, the title is probably misleading, but... couldn\'t really figure out the best title to describe my question in less than 10 words. I\'m working on what I would consider an adventurous sculpt project for someone of my skill level (that is, rather poor). I\'ve tried to glean tips and...

I\'m routinely bored and surfing through the net while at work. A few months ago I came across an article that showed how to \"biggerize\" old metals (2nd edition) Terminators. I thought it was presented by a CMON member. Anyway, I\'m looking for that article (or a similar one) to help make...

Hi all, been a while. Quite some time ago I had the \'brilliant\' idea of adding some loincloths to all of my Space Marines. With my sculpting skill still in it\'s wee infancy (barely up to toddler now), I thought I might need some sort of removable backing between each marines legs to provide...

Just another mini up for review and sale. Take a look and let me know what you think! :D Thanks in advance! http://www.coolminiornot.com/100406

Gotta new camera, so I took a new pic of the only model I currently have in my gallery. More to come. Please let me know what you think (and hey, if\'n ya like it... buy it ;) ) http://www.coolminiornot.com/100309

Ok, I couldn\'t seem to find an article on it, so I figured I\'d just ask. How do you weather Yellow? It\'s for my Urban-fighting Imperial Fists space marines (yea, I know \"GW, ugh\"). I could look towards common construction vehicles and yellow cars, but I don\'t want my marines to look like...

Hey all, I\'m really having some issues adding some tunics and loincloths to my armies. Right now I just kneed a small bit of GS, shape it with my fingers, apply it to the model and then work it with some tools to get some semblance of folds and overall decent appearance. However, I end up...

My first piccy. No longer a CMON virgin. Hopefully more piccies to follow. Sered, #63336 er Sered

I\'m working on a Salamanders chapter of space marines (a somewhat bright-ish green with gold and black trim). But I\'m running into a problem with my models. They end up looking to...clean...or cartoony. They don\'t look like battle-hardened warriors of the 41st millenium. How can I achieve...

I\'m trying to find a site full of those stupid ass stick people signs. you know the whole \"mens\" and \"womens\" bathroom signs. The \"walk\" and \"don\'t walk\" signs That guy. I\'m looking for all sorts of pics of him. In sports, at the office, picnicing, whatever. Clip Art never gives...

(gee can you tell I don\'t play this game?) :D ;) I need help deciding how I should paint an item on the Griffin Templar Zealot Sered. I can\'t figure out what to do with that little cherub thingy he has. The card kinda looks like they tried a pearl effect, which I\'m not about to attempt...

Yeah, yeah, I know. It\'s been asked a hundred times before. But I just can\'t seem to get this down. Maybe it\'s just me, but my \"gold\" just looks like a yellow-ish brown. I can\'t figure out what I\'m doing wrong. I\'ve read through most applicable articles here on coolmini and other...

I\'m out of my friggin\' mind. I want to add some extra armor to my chaotic vehicles. However, I want to take each piece of the armor and create a Bas Relief sculpture. Here is an example of a Bas Relief Sculpture Many more examples can be found on many of the wonderful ancient buildings of...

Just looking to determine how the general populace of CMON feels about \"dipped\" mini\'s. In case you didn\'t know, to \"dip\" a mini, you simply paint it in the basic colors you want, then \"dip\" it into a colored wood stain or polish to give you your shadows and then touch up the mini once...
