I've been looking at options for a new motor tool for myself over the past months and while Dremel wasn't exactly heading my shopping list as it was after reading numerous reports of their poor build quality in recent years I would have crossed it off anyway. So thought this might be a good...

Given the number of all-matt paintjobs these days I was wondering what the breakdown might be on this question amongst the members. Do you like different materials on your models to have an appropriate finish, or do you prefer to paint the illusion as is traditionally done on flats - so all...

Thought it would be useful for people who like the idea of being able to sculpt their own stuff but haven't dipped their toe in the water yet to get input from others who were in the same position, hopefully we should be able to help you get over the first hurdle. So, any particular sticking...

Dan Morton's idea from this thread. So, what you got? Einion

This isn't a mixing thread but I had to pick a prefix so... Anyone interested in trying oils and thinking water-miscible oils might be a good introduction, they're not! These are intended for leisure painters, as you might guess if you compare prices, and with artists' paints you do tend to...

Just wanted to get an idea of the numbers since I'm planning an article or two on improving photos. Einion

Lots of the 'rules' we pick up over the years aren't, usually they're just guidelines, and the problem with believing something is a rule when it's not is that you tend to never go against it. This can be a handicap as most of all mixing is about whatever works - any colour mixed with any other...

For those doing the Aviator bust for the pFP3 group paint, or anyone who has one really, just wanted to highlight this part: I've seen a few painted examples posted online without the projecting portion, where perhaps it just wasn't noticed; it was left off at least. Since Guy did his...

...in terms of realism? Wasn't sure where to post this as it covers the sculpting of course but the painting partly too, particularly the fleshtones. Einion

I don't know how many of you visit CoolMiniOrNot at all but there's a great step-by-step nearing its end that I think most would prefer not to miss. The subject is a 1/16 space marine with a lot of different techniques, various media and special effects including crackle glazing and salt...

Just wondering if anyone still uses soldering and if so can they give any details? Einion

Thought anyone using IE would want to hear about this, in case you missed it like I did: BBC, Serious security flaw found in IE http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7784908.stm ABC, Microsoft scrambles to block IE loophole http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/12/17/2448584.htm...

Just wanted to get a rough idea on the numbers. Einion

Just curious, has anyone had any trouble with MagicSculp or Apoxie Sculpt going off in their tubs? Einion

I collected these for a post on another forum, thought you guys might like a look too for inspiration in painting faces to a standard we don't usually see in the hobby: Daniel Green Burton Silverman Everett Raymond Kinstler John Howard Sanden William Whitaker Einion

Found these the other night during a search, thought they might come in handy for those in the US or Canada. This page has a Variable Speed Foot Pedal, item 95815, for $14.95 that "will work with Dremel tools." And if you want to take a stab at making your own, article here. ... The first...

There are three basic elements for a homemade stay-wet palette: container, reservoir for the water and the membrane paper. Even if it's very warm and dry you should be able to paint for an entire day with the palette uncovered and the paint will stay workable (although thin areas of paint on...

Was curious about how widespread their use is amongst the members. Einion

Please give any details that you think might be of use to those considering getting one. Einion
