I've voted on "3425 out of 218752 minis!". Not a very high percentage is it? Not many people seem to be voting compared to the huge amount of views on the site. For example the last mini I posted has been up since 03/06/2015. It's had 321 views and 23 votes so about 7% of people who see it...

I haven't been posting for a long time but I have always spent a bit of time looking at the site on and off when I get the chance. Things have been really busy for quite a while, but I have finally got some more time to paint again. This site has been great for helping me improve and I am...

Can anyone who is in the UK who bought either one CMON Annual or the entire CMON Annual bundle give me some advice please? 1) After doing some Google searches, I understand that USPS ship via Royal Mail Parcelforce or Royal Mail within the UK. Did you all get your Annuals By Parcelforce or...

Just a few quick questions if anyone has some free time: 1) Any one used Vallejo Game Colour Matt Varnish #520? If so what is it like, how dull is it and how far can you dilute it with water successfully (25% water, 50% water, 75% water?)? Any other views? 2)I have a tried and trusted recipe...

Among all my many brands of paint I have some Vallejo Game Colour. Two of the bottles 45 Charred Brown and 43 Beasty Brown have gone ... well wrong! Left for any length of time (even after a lot of shaking they separate again after a day) they will separate in the bottle, one part brown paint...

Lost of miniatures are painted to the style and colours that the miniature company painted them to when they were released. In this case it's common that there will be similar style and colour paint jobs. However with miniatures that aren't that well known, were a well known artist has done a...

I was looking through the galleries and it seems to me that the scores on older posted models seem more lenient and models posted more recently seem to be marked harsher (just my opinion). For example I looked at scores from my models that I posted in 2005 and I think they would score lower if...

Just a day after a man was captured on CCTV trying to board a train in Wrexham accompanied by a pony (after a conductor refused him entry to a train, the man returned to the ticket booth where he tried to buy two tickets - for himself and the animal), it appears the mystery man with pony have...

I have been looking for a while but haven't be able to find a tutorial on painting a sword that looks like it is made from a gem. I have seen lots of good ones before but can't seem to find them any more! All I can find is the green ones from the Green Knight for example...

This might be a little strange as I haven't picked up a brush in probably six years. Well as far as I know. I was thinking back to when I was painting and I can't really remember. My last submission to this site was 9 October 2005, and it was a model that I painted previously which I'd "spruced...

Hello. My camera is well and truly dead. The screen has all psychedelic stripy smeared dark colours and that's how the pictures turn out too! It was probably bought in 2003 though so I did get an OK life out of it I guess. I don't want to spend too much on a new one, and I suspect that since...

I have a fair bit of Imperial Guard (including tanks), Space Marines (Legion of the Damned), and to a much lesser extent some Bretonians. I will never get round to painting them all and I haven't played in probably 8 years if not longer. I don't want much for them (although I dread to think...

I am sure I saw a thread about careers in IT on coolminiornot.com but I can\'t seem to find it on the search facility. Anyone remember that or did I imagine it? Anyway, I am tired of my current job. I have always liked tinkering with computers having built a few of my own, tried out Linux...

I\'ve noticed that a lot of people manage to post high quality pictures to the CMON server while still being quite a bit under the 100kb limit. My pictures however are not particularly large, not particularly sharp, but I still have to lower the .jpg quality and compress them even more to ensure...

I am looking for some decals for 28 mm minature knights (much to my annoyance I cannot paint a good looking freehand design of say an eagle / sword / fish etc onto a 28mm horses barding! hehe). So I came upon the idea of decals and painting over them for the majority of the models (there are...

Ok, I can\'t do NMM at the moment.... not a chance.. I would need a huge amount of practice and a huge amount of time. I have quite a few knights I want to get painted up, and for speed (and the fact I can\'t do NMM lol) they will be done in metallic paints. What I would like to know is any...
