I've lost my will to paint. I have a slew of already-paid-for commissions that I need to get done, and even watching my 'How to pick up your brush' video hasn't helped. I have plenty of time to do the work, but I keep ending up just staring at the minis and thinking about nothing at all. I know...

This is the stupidest thing I believe I have ever read... http://www.castanet.net/news/Poll/59498/Banning-Money-For-Nothing- This politically correct crap is just getting out of hand.

I recently discovered that I'd bought a copy of a mini that I'd already painted (this has probably happened more than I'm aware of). Looking at my little display shelf, I was shocked at the difference in what I thought was fantastic back when I was first getting into things and what I can do...

Never paint a mini while watching/listening to a bloopers reel from anything. Feel free to add to the list. But since I just did this one, I thought I'd share it. No, I'm not taking a picture to show how badly the piece got messed up. :)

I've made myself a teeny little 'light box', using two sheets of paper and some scotch tape. Oddly, it actually seems to have helped a little bit. This piece is just about finished, needing the edges of the base blacked again, or maybe extended. There's a bit of shine to it, so maybe another...

This was a commission job, and a lot of fun to work on over the last few weeks. I painted every single thing before any of it got assembled, and that helped a lot in comparison with my previous attempts at many-part models (which were for the same customer). I'm still not great at photography...

Well, this is a new one, I think. The only way I could log in was by trying to reply to a thread, because on both the home page and the forum's regular page, there was nowhere to enter my password.

Unfortunately, I still haven't replaced my camera, so you're just going to have to take my word on it. http://www.coolminiornot.com/199370 That's her, in the original form... (anyone know how to make the image show? I seem to have forgotten.) I found the rope to be too hard to get into place...

So, I spent all day doing up a mini to be my friend\'s D&D character. For a one-day job, it turned out pretty well. Maybe a 6 or 6.5 if I\'d based it. Happy me, all done painting, it\'s time for a quick spray of Dullcote, and then some liquitex matt varnish. So, I grab the spray can, go outside...

This is IE related. For months now, I\'ve had this stupid microsoft ad page coming up suggesting that I get IE8 (which I already bloody well have!) instead of my chosen home page. It doesn\'t show up in my home page listing, and I\'ve removed every program that won\'t kill my computer, cleaned...

Every day, there\'s updates in the CMON store on the left side, and there\'s always something there that I want to get. I know, you can never have enough minis, but I just can\'t paint as fast as I can buy. Which, of course, assures my immortality. But, gimme a break! The postage costs are...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/226538 So, like the text says on the link, my very first time entering a big contest, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to withdraw from the contest and leave GD Toronto 2009 very early. So, I don\'t know how far it would have gotten, or not gotten...

I\'ve been working on a Khorne Chaos Champion for some time, now, with the intent of entering the single mini category at GD Toronto, this year, just to see if I could get past first eliminations (I have no delusions about winning - I\'m not THAT good), and yesterday, I was doing some gold NMM...

I\'m sure that I saw something about miniatures for that old Bungie game, some years back, but I never really pursued the subject too much. Lately, I\'ve been looking at the game\'s concept art and thinking they\'d be really neat minis to paint. But is my memory correct? Does anyone know if...

Exactly what it sounds like. Take a movie, an album, a song, a product of whatever sort, and give your opinion of it in only three words. Examples: Kraft Dinner : It\'s the cheesiest. Guns \'n\' Roses - Appetite For Destruction: Mostly good album. Braveheart: Too much Mel. The Ring: Scary as...

It\'s been going on for some years now, in the television industry. Once upon a time, these things only came up on the pay channels, which were commercial free during the movies (wasn\'t that a great time?), and only at the beginnings of the movies. Now they\'re being applied to every tv show...

We had some very fierce winds here in Toronto, today, and I had the excitement of being outside in it. My friend and I had just gotten a late lunch at a pub near our local game shop, and while we were eating, the wind had been getting stronger and stronger. As we were walking back to the game...

I was at work, and paused briefly because the customer was asking me how much longer it was going to take. I happened to stop near the tv set while answering, and she was watching what appeared to be some kind of political meeting or discussion. Apparently, New York State has either tried to...

Well, let\'s see. I started out with having to take the Carnosaur apart from the owner\'s original assembly, so that I could pin it properly, and do some Green Stuff filling of the joins, which weren\'t quite perfect. And still aren\'t, really. I did the best I could. Priming was Armory Black...

I took a few weeks off from everything but work to get things in my life as close to \'back in order\' as is possible, and have started painting again. So far, it\'s mostly just been assembling and priming things, and my workspace is now as big a mess as it ever was. I\'ve got a Netherhound...
