I recently tackled NMM for the first time, and I'm looking for feedback on what I can do better at going forward. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

For example, leather wrapping the haft of a spear. Is there anything people use that's the right size and is easy to work with?

Does anyone know a company with a line of these? I'm looking specifically for a raven, an owl, some frogs and squirrels and etc.

I've been getting more into using oils on miniatures and need some different brushes. My old kolinsky brushes work nicely for blending colors together because they're soft and gentle, but I lack a good brush for applying the paint in the first place. I need brushes that come to a fine tip (and...

I'm thinking it might be useful to be able to blend shadow/highlight onto an acrylic base coat, but I would need something with the consistency of an oil paint that was transparent to blend into. Does something like this exist?

I'm putting together a home made spray booth, and I had a question. Is it possible to get a filter good enough that you don't have to vent outside? It looks like HEPA filters might do the trick, but I don't know for sure.

I did some searching and there doesn't seem to be much info on these questions, either here or on the internet at large. I was hoping somebody could enlighten me. 1) I've noticed oils seem to be used over a base coat of acrylic due to their poor coverage. Do you generally just base coat with a...

I saw this in a video I'm watching, and I'm wondering what it is? It looks like some kind of paper or felt pencil.

I'm painting the tabards on these guys white http://privateerpress.com/files/products/31030_SwordKnight-Grunts_WEB.jpg and I'm trying to hit a good tabletop standard without spending too much time on it. I can't seem to get the white to look even remotely smooth without ridiculously thin glazes...

Vallejo Model Air Silver is the paragon of metallic paints in my experience. It goes on like liquid metal, and covers extremely well in one coat. Problem is, it's not really a color I need that often for base-coating metals, as it's too bright. Does anyone know a gunmetal and a bronze that...

Are they not both pigment suspended in an acrylic medium? What do you use inks for that they are better at than paints?

I've seen a lot of people recommend this, and I have some ammonia free windex I've been using to clean the brush. My one concern is that the windex is blue... It seems like that'd be an issue adding it to paint. Is there clear windex out there and that's what I should try, or does the blue...

I experimented last night with some bases for my mordheim undead force. I don't feel like I nailed the graveyard feel on the darker base, and am not very good at figuring out colors. I am trying to paint up these miniatures and bases in a really poppy and colorful style, and I don't know what...

I saw a tutorial a while back where the guy put teeny dots of lots of different colors down and then smushed/blended them all together on the model to achieve some interesting color variations in the base coat. I can't for the life of me find it again, and I really want to try something similar...

I'm having a hard time finding minis to use for these. Here's the description: The ones GW made can still be found, but they're a bit too goofy\cartoony to match my choices for vampire/necromancer/ghouls/etc.

I'm going back and forth between this: http://www.ccgarmory.com/masepacoset.html + http://www.miniaturemarket.com/reaper-high-density-paint-set-1-newarrival.html + http://www.miniaturemarket.com/reaper-high-density-paint-set-2-newarrival.html + The new GW washes And the new GW range set from...

Having a hard time finding these. I want some painted missiles on flight stands to use as tokens. Anyone know a company that makes nice ones?

Does anyone know where sprues of teeny letters and perhaps assorted symbols can be purchased? I want to put names on all my miniature space ships using actual bits not freehand writing.

I've been playing around with the trick of putting on a layer of gloss varnish before a wash, and then using alcohol and foam brushes to clean up the wash so flat surfaces don't look dirty. This works great but the alcohol also eats the varnish I use so I have to be very careful not to penetrate...
