I have sat in a Laz Z Boy recliner with a painting table and a little "crane light" over me to paint for years. I cannot do it anymore, the soft squishiness of the chair kills my neck and back, basically they put us in a "fetal" position. I sit at a desk all day for a living so I can't sit at a...

Just looking for any hints, tips, or tricks I can get to make tiny tiny dots in a straight line on some space ships miniatures I am working on. I am wanting to recreate lit windows similar to the pic below. But even using my smallest brush and getting the tiniest amount of paint possible the...

I want to recreate the look of black latex on the DE army I am working on right now and I am not really sure how to get it so I was hoping some of the pros on here could give me some ideas. I want some of their arms and legs to look like patent leather or latex similar to the costume of the...

I have heard of Pigments for a long time and never really actually seen them in stores I go to. I have always been amazed at some of the effects that using them can achieve, like some of the in house painters from the old Confrontation line as an example. I was looking for a good "Getting...

I am looking for ideas for places to get sand and such for basing. I think $10 for a little "tub" of sand from GW is kind of silly but most of my googling turns up places selling resin bases and such but not much in the way of sand and fake "dirt". Ideas or links?

Well I tried something new, I used "Les's" wash recipe (or part of it) and mixed GW Baal Red and washed some BA terminators really heavily. I basically mixed 10:1 Distilled Water and "Flow Aid" flow release stuff with Baal Red, it works great visually, it really did what I was hoping for, but...

I recently dug out my old airbrush and found it to be a huge aid in painting large models that have to be all one color. Like a BA land raider or something similar. I was wondering if using an airbrush to apply an ink wash would work or if I would still be better off brushing it on as before?Any...

I am posting this here because I know many painters use lots of different mini companies so the exposure beyond the bounds of GW is better. I am trying to find some companies that make stands/clusters/etc of anything small and flying, like bats, birds, mutant bugs, "rippers with wings"...

I find myself in need of something to substitute the GW Baal Red Wash. I have to paint a LOT of red and the tiny GW pots don't seem to last long enough to be affordable. Please recommend alternate brands of inks/washes that might work well as a replacement for the GW product. TY in advance for...

I haven't done commission work in a long time and with the change in economy and such I am nervous about either trying to charge too much, or short selling myself. I don't consider myself anywhere near "Heavy Metal" standards but I get many compliments whenever I pull my stuff out at local...
