I just purchased some metal minis on clearance, and several of them have bent swords/staffs/etc (some bent 90 degrees). Any suggestions on how to fix them?

What solutions (without breaking the bank) have people found to store/transport miniature paint/dropper bottle style? I already have a ton of paint, and will be rcving way too many more in March, so buying a paint 'kit' will not work so well for me. I'm looking at about 100 paint bottles or so.

I've been toying around with some terrain building, and realize it will very quickly run through my supply of graciously donated static grass, and the small amount of flock I've purchased. I've seen 32 and 64oz containers of flock/static grass. Where is the cheapest (inc. shipping) I can find...

I'll let you know how it goes... A little scared, and the coats aren't the most even, but we'll see... I've heard some really good things!

Maybe I've been in the dark, but I was in Jo-Ann Fabrics, and randomly went to the floral section... They sell talus in different 'sizes' for about 5 times the product for 1/2 the price... They also had some moss that would be good for basing, small pieces of shells (for a different texture)...

Well, here goes nothing... I used the golden skin triad for the skin, red hair for the hair, and an assortment of everything else for, well, everything else... Looks like I still need to thin my paints more. Also at the bottom is my ogre with the wash. And here is the ogre with the wash...

I'm still not thrilled with the coverage I'm getting over a white primer with my reaper yellow HD paint... I've tried it both thinned and unthinned. It still looks... grungy, even with several coats. Do people like the GW foundations better, or maybe another line's yellow foundation coat?

Well, I think I'm getting a little better at blending, but here goes nothing... Again, suggestions, questions, comments, thoughts are appreciated! Sorry the face isn't in focus. I think I may try building a lightbox, too... Now that I'm looking at the photo, I will remove the static grass...

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy kolinsky sable brushes (with s&h figured into the cost)? (I'm in the US)

I am buying a second "batch" of paints, and I would like some suggestions. My first "batch" consisted of red (ink) oops, yellow, blue, green, white, black, bone/off-white, silver, brown, and a 'dwarf' flesh. My second batch will consist of an actual red paint, a reaper hd yellow, a purple...

For swords and the like, where do people typically put their highlights for metallic metals? The only thing I can think of is the edges (one side shaded, one side highlighted), but want to see what other people think... I should try the source-object lighting I've seen in tutorials by holding...

I would like a lot more contrast here, but I'm trying to only stick to the vallejo paints I have for the moment... They blend a LOT nicer than the wal-mart paints, and they are in general nicer to work with...

I'm looking for a yellow mini paint that will fully coat in one or two coats. Any suggestions?

And I don't mean craft paints used for minis... Where does everyone buy their mini paints if they don't have access to a lhs? I'm looking for the cheapest including s&h.

My paints have been delayed, so I am going to buy some on my own.... The problem is that I have heard 100 different people provide 101 different opinions... What I would like to know is what paint colors from each sets (GW, Vallejo, Reaper, and P3) people like the best? IE Metallics from GW...

Ok, so here is what I have so far... Again, primed white, base coated, and some sad attempts at highlights. And MAN, even over a white primer (that looks grey), yellow takes a long time to show up. Again, I didn't concern myself with mold lines, though it looks ok so far. Also, Reaper's not...

Note: I did not remove mold lines, and probably won't at this stage, but I do have Simple Green standing by if I need to. How can I improve? The skeleton garnered some good advice on the painting advice thread, but I thought I'd show them here for some harsher critiquing. I used craft paints...

I ask this for two reasons... 1, I'm a cheeky American and don't know how many grams will last me how long, and 2, I just don't know how big/small of a container to get. I know that a little goes a long way, but I don't know how little to go, especially when I'm buying from eBay, and can't get...

Briefly introducing myself, I'm Daniel, and I started on this slow road to miniatures through the reaper kickstarter... Needless to say, I have hundreds of minis coming in march, and 40+ reaper paints coming in October, and I don't know how to paint! So I bought some craft paints from wal...
