Yeah, thought I'd start the obligatory post. -I don't care if I'm the only one that gets this. Anyways, it is extremely rare when (US) Thanksgiving and Hanukkah fall on the same day, what with the Gregorian calendar and the Hebrew lunar calender align. I've heard that the next one isn't for...

Hey all! So, it's getting to be crunch time in my art class and critiques are coming up and that made me think of some of the feedback here on CMON. Just like my teacher says "It's good." or "I like it." is not very helpful to people. More often than not, I only see the really good comments and...

So, I decided to do a bit of snooping around on KS to see if there was anything worth putting monies into. CMONers have been great about posting news on fantastic looking Kickstarter minis- but I've always waited because either 1) The deals would give a ton of figures I'm not interested in...

I'm bored. It's October. So, I decided to make this lil poll to basically see which Old One is that favorite of our merry band of mini painters. To keep the list concise I chose the deities actually named and described by HPL, but if you just have to have another writer's god, write it down...

Saw all about Stereograms whilst I was surfing the web and decided to try it out with some of my minis: If they are too big, my DeviantArt page has them both on their auto-scale down thingamabobber. Well, in case you haven't done these all you need to do is cross your eyes slightly or...

Okay, hopefully the more astute out there can help me with this problem I seem to be having. I'm using Micromark's blue 10 to 1 silicone mold maker and for some reason when I cast something it looks like there are places where the piece or mold shrunk. I wish I could get a good pic of it, but...

Hello all! I just got this book Pop Sculpture; how to create action figures and collectible statues the other day and thought I'd share it with you and my thoughts on it. I had read about in in Amazing Figure Modeller and when I had to go on Amazon to get some of my textbooks, I thought it was a...

So, yeah- just thought having one of these would help inspire me to do more work and get some feedback in the process. Also, I plan on putting random bits of advice and thoughts here. So let's get started, shall we? First off, I want to call attention to this: This is a wood carver blade...

Okay, first off Stevie needs to do the required song: It seems we all have them in the painting/ wargaming/ mini hobby. Be it not letting others touch your dice to the unutterable "don't roll a 1". I thought I'd share mine (keep in mind who they're coming from) and see what other quirks of...

Two shows I "watch" while painting and DVR the hell out of are Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations and Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. Both preach this message that truly the only way to experience a place is in it's local foods, which is true. Why do you go all the way to France and eat...

Okay, bought 2 brand new cans of primer- white and auto grey. I've tried priming like I have done for years and the white comes out a glossy mess that nothing sticks to. The auto primer has the exact opposite- it's just dust that can be blown off even right after spraying. Is the Rustoleum brand...

Okie- Dokie-Loki: So even though this was discussed somewhat tentaviely in other threads, I'm starting the Vandella succubus model from Super Dungeon Explore! For those that came in late, I've established I'm going to use Carrera's color scheme from Viper GTS: It was either this or Morrigan...

Okay, I'm bored waiting on various things, so I think it's time for another of my famous articles. But unlike usual, all of you get to decide what I will write up next! I am making this a limited number of days for this poll, after which I'll get started on whatever is picked.. Of course, I have...

Finally, City of Steam is live: http://cos.r2games.com/ Being curious, I clicked on a Wartune ad and had been playing that, but saw this early on-though it wasn't available. I haven't even made a character yet but it looks cool. I also have a porject in the werks creating a campaign setting in a...

Okay, so after that evil 5 year hiatus and now that I have some time off of school I'm finally trying to get things back together so I can paint. But- here's the problem: my parents decided to renovate while I was gone.. and quickly too. And so it became "shove everything into a box and let it...
