Can anybody recommend a good step by step plan for painting sandy blond hair utilizing Vallejo Model Color paints. All of my prior attempts have come out way...
That's some truly beautiful work. I thought the pics turned out well. Looks like you're using a white paper background, that always helps. You can make a...
Tim, I am not sure what colours to recommend, but I have picked up a useful technique: 1. Paint the hair the final choice of colour. 2. Wash with burnt umber...
... I'm no great painter, but I do paint lots of 28 mm Vikings, Saxons, and Brits for ancient combat games. One quick method for blond or sandy hair is to...
Hi Tim Try using tan or light khaki as your base coat. Then paint using yellow and yellow ochre. Finally use a very thin wash of olive green over the entire...
What kind of repairs? I'm pretty good at pinning, even tiny things like antenna. I engineer my minis better than I paint them :) ... 5/25/2007 12:32 PM...
I tried experimenting with longer shutter speeds, but IME (and I've discussed this with others) 1 second is FAR too long unless you have a huge aperture...

Having baked my share of pies in this lifetime, it looks like some kind of sculpting material (Sculpey?) that's been rolled out flat, then likely propped on...
I know it's close, but their website is a bigger disaster than usual and I'm wondering if there are any painting events at Origins this year. Thanks....
There's paint-n-take, as usual, and I know I've heard mention of a painting competition, but there won't be any seminar-type events this year, at least that I...

I have had good luck with dynamite, blast furnaces, and air hammers . . . oops, my bad. We're talking about pewter and lead minis, aren't we . . . There are...
Any good hobby shop will have superglue remover. Just look for products like 'CA Debonder' in the name. Also acetone-based nail polish remover will work, but...
Use acetone - otherwise known as nail-varnish-remover. It's very cheap and does the job. Most proprietory (if not all) superglue dissolvers are chemically no ...
I have had good results using "Z-7 Debonder", a superglue remover mader by Pacer (the folks that make Zap-a-Gap). When you apply it, the superglue turns into a...
