Looks like the would have made good entries in TTIII.

Hello, I unfortunately may have the wrong terminology here, but... I am trying to determine how to paint things like stone realistically. I think that the technique that I am trying to figure-out is stippling. I am looking to create a speckled appearance. I tried cutting-down a flat brush and spreading-out the hairs, but that did not work very well. Does anyone know how to do this? Am I even asking the correct question? Thanks!

Okay.

By ribbon, you mean the whole thing on her arms, or just the stuff at the end?

Thanks to everyone for the comments. @Wren The RMS is the sealer that I was avoiding naming in my original post. The miniature in question is my TT2 entry - http://wyrd-games.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=816 . I thought that the blending seemed smooth before I sealed it. Maybe it was my imagination. @Coneman Thanks for the information. @Vytis Not that I have sealed that many miniatures with it, but the grey on that particular miniature was the first time that I saw it completely eliminate my work. I had to re-highlight the area after. @orkydave I have noticed the "...can help the blending to appear more seamless..." thing to, but thought that it was my imagination (it seems very subtle to me). I will have to try to seal my miniatures before photographing them . (Only problem with that is that I am usually working on them up until the submission deadline ) @orkydave Maybe there is something to the effect depending upon color then? Your problem with the purple paint, ans what I noticed specifically with the grey?

Is the first miniature supposed to make me laugh?

Don't like the ribbons? I agree about the tail.

I like them. I used their bases heavily in IP3.

Given the title, I was expecting aliens.

Hello, I had stayed-away from sealing my miniature since getting back in the hobby after I used a brush-on sealer on a Wyrd contest entry last year and not liking the results. I have started using Dullcote recently. Generally, I like what it does to the miniature, but I think that it flattened some of the gray areas on my Mechanical Mayham entry. I spent a great deal of time painting a section of the miniatures in different shades of gray, but looking at the miniature after two coats of Dullcote it looks like the same shade (the other areas look okay). Anyone else ever notice this? Is it just my imagination? Does anyone else notice any differences after sealing their miniatures? Thanks!

Maybe the top is open, so you can look into the tree to see it?

Why aren't the base the standard size for the 'mech's?

I would like to get these. I have some Fungus Men from way back (early 80's?) that I painted, and would like to compare to the way that I paint now.

Happy Birthday!!!

I think you just created a loop in this thread (since that term goes back to the original BSG series, I believe).

Happy Birthday! :birthday:

Wow! Really awesome work on the face! It's looking great so far.

Happy Birthday! :fest06:

Although the armor would seriously mitigate the whole stake-through-the-heart problem that they have.

2 hours?! Amazing.

:bigok: I like!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might have advice about hotels for Gencon Indy. I just bought passes for the con, but it would seem that all of the really close hotels Gencon blocks are sold-out. I would be there with my wife and 1 year old daughter, so I need both short travel and low cost. Pretty tough goal, I know. At there hotels near the airport that have free/cheap shuttles to/from the convention center? Any other suggestions? Thanks a bunch in advance.

My mistake.

Maybe I missed something, but what determines these dots for everyone? - Thanks
