    Any tips on painting a 1/6 scale figurine?

    Princess Zelda: I\'ve never painted a miniature as large as this before; 1/6 scale. is that 33cm/13 inches? It\'s going to be big anyway. At present the only paints I have are Citadel acrylics and a few Vallejos. Do I need oil-based paint? Someone has already mentioned that an airbrush would...

    Idiot question about tentacles...

    How to make them?! :drunk: I\'ve never sculpted before (although I\'m halfway through sculpting a head for a G.D of Slaanesh - it\'s looking passable) but I bought a cheap set of wax-sculpting tools and I\'ve got some ProCreate and Milliput and I\'m making a kind of Slaanesh-style...

    Confrontation Wolfen prices?

    Can anyone tell me if I got a good deal on these metal Wolfen or if I overbid? ??? I bought them on eBay for £97 including postage (£82+£15) which is $168. I thought I\'d got a pretty good deal since Rackham have ditched metal in favor of pre-painted plastic but then I looked at this...

    Orangina commercial

    Have you seen it? It\'s surely the work of some very twisted furry-fetishist fans. I don\'t know what it\'s got to do with orange juice but I must admit I enjoyed it. :D You can download this perverted filth in hi-res here: Perverted!

    What IS blending?

    Or perhaps I should ask \"how do you use blending? I\'ve used blending for a long time but somehow the effect always seems a little muddy and I get better results from simply dabbing on dilute paint. The answer should be that it\'s a way of merging highlights or shading to the base color, but...

    Foliage?

    Where to get it from - preferably cheaply? I was looking at this mini and if it\'s in 28mm scale the foliage is very tiny and delicate: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150273119611#ebayphotohosting What do you use?

    Pre-owned values for minis?

    Does anyone know of a site that lists the approximate values of fantasy miniatures? Stuff Of Legends is a useful site for identifying minis but it doesn\'t list market values. I\'ve been buying up some minis on eBay and at car-boot sales to resell them for a profit but it can sometimes be hard...

    Alternatives to crappy GW plastic bases?

    They\'re fine for minis painted to a normal tabletop gaming standard but they look very lackluster for minis painted to display standard or a high tabletop standard and I\'m wondering what I might use instead. I\'m not sure what sizes they come in but the only thing I can think of so far is...

    What do you use to hold your minis?

    I know a lot of people like using an empty paint-pot but this is my favorite method: The clothes pegs are high quality with soft rubber tips; they also balance the minis quite well on the side of a cup.

    Any tips on how to assemble these minis?

    The first is \"Imogen - Demonette With Wings\" from Hasslefree (LOL!) Miniatures. One wing slots into a shallow groove on the body and the other slots into an even shallower grove on the side of the other wing; superglue alone would be useless because the wings would fall off at the slightest...

    Alternative color scheme for Vampire Count?

    I\'m painting a Vlad Von Carstein which normally would have a red cloak like this: But I want to try a kind of \"spectral blue\" look instead. Should I keep the rest of the mini in the same black and gold? I hate messing up a color scheme and having to repaint. :)

    Paleness?

    You know how in pictures they paint seagulls in the distance as white or pale gray instead of black? I\'m wondering if the same principle applies with minis. I\'m fairly sure it would work well with the likes of Games Workshop \"Epic Scale\" minis but what about 28mm scale? It\'s making me...

    Selling painted minis in the UK - Advice please!

    I\'ve come back to painting minis and I\'m hoping that over the next year I can get my standard of painting up to a sellable (is that a real word btw? sellable..saleable..salable..) standard. :) I can paint okay already but I still have a lot of learning to do before I can declare myself to be...
