... Hi I really like the skin tone and the way the wood turned out. I also prefer the limited pallet of the iron/bronze age look. It is grittier and more...
thanks for the feedback. good catch on the base size. I make them using a plastic lid and plaster of paris. maybe I will try some smaller lids. I am not sure...
Many miniature painters will try to convince you that only miniature paints work if you want decent results. Don't believe them. It's not like they're trying...
Craft paints are great. I don't like mixing so I buy GW paints when I want a specific "odd" color for details but 90% of my paints are of the craft variety....
I use a mix of craft paints and Reaper, with a few games workshop thrown in for good measure, I thin all the paints to one degree or another depending on what...
The problem with the cheap paints is that when you dilute them severely, like for airbrushing, you end up with very grainy paints because they have less...
Beatha, If you're getting drying of paints, you owe it to yourself to switch to a wet palette! I can keep even the cheapest of paints on my palette for days ...
I am re-basing hundreds of miniatures (Dreamblade and Mage Knight) for use in Dungeons and Dragons. Those minis come on a larger base than works well with...
Steve - Unless you want to use Steel Washers mate, try Litko... There is a link to them on the front of my site: http://wargaming.info/ - you can get bases 1"...

I don't think I dare use house paint in my airbrush - I didn't pay anywhere near this for mine, but it now retails at $350 (Iwata Micron C). Nozzles alone are...
Heather, While I'm glad you found a paint that you like, I have to say that my experience doesn't mirror your own. I have tried various paint lines which ...
Interesting Steve . . . I am glad that you have good luck with craft paint - it's not worth it for me to "fight" with those paints. I guess we have to agree...
