There\'s a technique for painting skin where, at the end, it looks very ropey - almost striped. Does anyone know what I\'m talking about? Does anyone have any advice on achieving this look or (even better) know of any tutorials? I know I haven\'t explained it the best I can - I\'ll try to...

I\'m trying to find some cool mounted female miniatures to turn into a unit for my Warhammer army. I\'m looking for about six figures. To be honest, it doesn\'t really matter what they\'re mounted on, nor does it matter if they come from different manufacturers. They\'re going to receive a...

Hello! I am trying to sculpt some tusks for a mammoth that I am converting. I\'ve been scouring the internet for tips, but haven\'t been able to find any. Has anyone sculpted tusks/horns before (from green stuff)? I need to make them in such a way that I can resin cast them later, because I...

I\'m trying to get some ideas for patterns I could freehand onto a cloak. I\'ve tried searching for tons of different things (cloak, robe, pattern, etc.), but can\'t seem to get more than one or two minis to come up, or they come up as 40k miniatures, which won\'t help for the mini I\'m working...

I\'ve been trying for months, and I feel like I\'m a pretty decent painter, but I can\'t seem to get the hang of this style of painting. Is it the brushes? Is it the paints? Am I just a chimpanzee over here? I feel like the style is more layered than blended, but when I try that, it...

Anyone have a good method for doing a slime/drool effect? You know - clear, dripping, realistic? Thanks in advance!

So... I have, sitting in front of me, about 60 Games Workshop wolves (the ones that come with Goblin Wolf Riders). Since they make up the bulk of my army, I don\'t exactly want to go the \"drybrush grey/drybrush white\" route, since that will look kind of amatuerish when the judges come around...

I just finished my first major green stuff project: http://www.coolminiornot.com/?id=35878 Any advice for my next work from experienced sculptors? Thanks in advance!

Anyone know where I can score a teeny, tiny drill bit, for a GW-issue pin vise? My 2nd smallest bit broke. Grr... I\'m in Orange, California, USA, by the way...so chain stores and the like would be the most helpful. Thanks!

Check out the \"ice\" effect on the sword and shoulder pads... I\'ve got it mostly figured out, but the \"crackleture\" on the sword (over the reflection) is freakin\' awesome, and I can\'t figure it out. Is it just really thin white lines, or is it the blending, or what? Opinions?

I\'m trying to convert a few models into statues for some bases that I\'m working on, and getting the color right on the test scrap sprue isn\'t coming on too well... Anyone have a good method of painting statues, preferably in some sort of bronzey color?

Scary, but after a while now of just looking at what everyone else has done, I\'ve decided to post a pic of my own stuff... http://www.coolminiornot.com/?id=25779 My much-beloved Catachans, en route to do battle with some kind of nasty something-or-other. :) I\'m mostly just interested to...

Once you submit pictures, it tells you your status is \"waiting.\" How long do you usually have to \"wait?\" Minutes? Hours? Days?

I just can\'t seem to come up with the right shading color for my yellows. Chestnut and Flesh Wash, even watered down, are too brown. When I try to mix in a little yellow to even it out, I just get mucky soup. Anyone have any good suggestions?

I\'ve been doing pretty well so far with my blending when I have a lot of room to operate, like on capes and things...but when it gets down to small areas, like the scales on a cold one or faces and hands, it all goes pear-shaped pretty quickly. The articles have been helpful, but again, only...

I\'m not really looking for advice so much as opinion. I\'m sure there is article after article about it, but I want to hear from the general populace. :) What do you guys think? Do you paint first, then assemble, or assemble first, then paint? On the one hand, you can get to everything if...
