    [H] Ebay various rare/OOP minis [W] paypal (ebay)

    Hi all, This is just a quick heads-up for anyone who may be interested. I'm selling a number of things on ebay at the moment which are rather hard to come by (some more so than others, but all bar the Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmiths are OOP.) They are, in no particular order; NIB 2007...

    Looking for information on a model

    Hello all - long time no see. Humblest apologies for lurking so much of late *MiJ bows deeply* Anyway, I have a question I hope somebody can help me with. I'm thinking to sell a larger scale mini I've had for many years but never done anything with. It's a Limited Edition Kotobukiya Guardian...

    ebay - Studio McVey Ar-Fienel

    Well, I'm selling my Ar-Fienel from Studio McVey. Gorgeous, gorgeous model, but one that is just sitting in my cupboard of shame accumulating value. Time to let her go, methinks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Studio-McVey-Original-Ar-Fienel-Resin-Limited-Edition-319-750-/131423345099? Still, my...

    how much is an Ar-Fienel these days?

    Hello everyone :) Long time no post. I've been mega busy with work/family/etc recently. Anyway, I hope you are all well. I'm posting to ask a question. Like the thread title says, does anyone know roughly how much an Studio McVey Ar-Fienel (the original one) is likely to go for? I've seen a few...

    GW try to claim trademark over the words "Space Marine"

    Hum. While I think it's actually a good thing for GW to protect its IP, and certainly agree that sculpting, for example, Eldar-alike models purely to cash in on their popularity is wrong (a la Chapterhouse) this time GW have gone too far. Rather than go into all the details here, I'll summarise...

    Mierce Miniatures

    Bit of a delicate subject this one. I like Mierce, I really do. I think their sculpts are good, and what contact I've had with them has been commendably polite and professional, far more so than many other miniature companies I've had to contact for one reason or another. But... (yeah, y'all...

    Do spelling and grammar mistakes bother anyone?

    Or is it just me? I was sent a link to a kickstarter today by a friend of mine, and while the project itself seems reasonable enough, the description of the project goals was so riddled with spelling and grammar errors I just had to give up and close the window. I dunno, maybe it's just me - I'm...

    The sad demise of Maelstrom Games

    I'm somewhat surprised no one has started a thread on this topic already. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, Maelstrom Games has gone under, taking quite a lot of customers' money with it. Personally, I appear to have been burned for about 15quid, but I appreciate that it could be a lot...

    What would you have in your ideal hobby room?

    Hi all :) For the past year or so my wife and I have been living in a rented house, where we moved after we outgrew our rented apartment. Now, the time has come to move a step further, and that means buying property. However, the nature of the Japanese property market dictates that when one...

    Golden Demon Japan pics

    Hi all - my mate Tenorikuma from my local forum/gaming group NagoyaHammer was kind enough to post some pics of his trip to the inaugural Golden Demon awards in Japan yesterday. He also nabbed himself a well deserved silver demon for his warhammer regiment, so big congratulations to him - he's a...

    wanted: Yriel of Iyanden

    Hi - I'm just wondering if anybody has an unpainted (or at least strippable) Yriel model. I'm happy to pay up to 10GBP for him, plus postage. If you're in the UK, thatd be ideal, but I'm flexible. Thanks in advance :)

    What's the minimum acceptable level for a finecast mini?

    As I live in the boonies in Japan, I rarely get the chance to walk into a GW store and browse. Because of this, I've never actually seen a finecast miniature. I have, however, heard many, many bad things about them. At the moment, though, I'm on holiday back in the UK, and am planning to go into...

    painting scratches - help needed

    howdy all, I'm in the process of painting a couple of Cryx warjacks. They're just for my own tabletop use, so nothing too fancy, but it occured to me that I have never painted scratches on freehand, and would like to learn how. So, I did a search and found several exponents of the "paint a thin...

    Looking for Rackham Dirz Biopsist 1

    Howdy folks, As the thread title suggests, I'm looking for a Dirz Biopsist 1. I'm keeping a beady eye on eBay, of course, but if anybody has one they'd be willing to part with (for money, of course), I'd very much appreciate it it if you could let me know via PM. I know these guys are kinda...

    GW finds new way to alienate non-EU/US customers (aka MiJ rants again)

    Sorry, sorry, sorry. For anyone who doesnt live in Japan this is irrelevant, and those who do live here probably already know, but when I got this email fizz started coming out of my ears, so I apologise in advance, but I have to vent before the top of my head pops off and vexes my wife terribly...

    I have a favour to ask...

    Howdy folks, as the title suggests, I have a favour to ask y'all. I'm trying to get a hold of the bust "octopus" from JMD minis. (this lad: http://www.jmd-miniatures.com/zoom_article.php?src=images_niveau2/54/thumb_1.jpg&id=54) I'm fairly sure I could just buy it from JMD themselves, but I'm a...

    The thread where MiJ posts pictures of his minis

    Howdy all :) Somewhat emboldened by the healthy number of threads started by what appear to be fairly new guys to this here illustrious forum, I've decided to bite the bullet and start my own WIP thread, too. It'll probably go in fits and starts, as that's how my painting tends to go, but at...

    Thinning Vallejo Air Metallics

    I recently got some Vallejo Air Metallics (Aluminium and Brass) for highlighting gunmetal and gold respectively. When I apply them in tiny quantities by brush and just thin them with water I have no problems. But, having bought half a dozen more colours (all metallics) with the intent of...
