Quote from: Exploderwizard;679296I used the floor polish for a while. I have had better results with W&N flow improver.

I love inks for certain applications but have moved away from them for general washing. They tend to dry to shiny for more matte applications.

Use Reaper sealer; it's semi-gloss so will tone down ink glossyness but leave pure metallics shiny.

Nicely done!

Here is a building I constructed as a Christmas gift for my sister.

My friend Dwayne go into it a little more than me.

His stuff was pretty amazing.

Speaking of minis and so forth here's a weird-but-fun fact.  The original Battledroids Sci-Fi game that preceded Battletech had little brackets formed into the mini's casting so when you lost weapon, arm, or leg you took it off the model and continued on...!

All the time, RPGs, Wargames and just for the heck of it

Quote from: Sacrosanct;679127OMG how did I know not about this site before!

Benoist, you have just made me spend more money dammit!  

its easy to do... I have these so far... 40, 45, 54, 55, 56, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 80, 84, 85, 201, 203, 205, 235, 250, 260, 281, 282 (I may be missing one or two)

I have a big set of Dwarven Forge terrain in my future, along with a bunch of HS accessories from Itar's Workshop.

I've never painted terrain of any kind, and it's been decades since I painted any minis (and I was never good at it).  Anyone have pointers for painting this terrain?

*envious*

The fieldstone molds look particularly interesting. In our last F2F game, the friend who was GMing had dungeon tiles, doors, and walls made from some of those pieces.

Yep, first I need to move to a different house, and second we need to set up an area for terrain. I could construct and paint stuff here, but there'd be no place to actually display it.

Do you have pics of any of your projects?

Yeah, I have a garage with a bunch of tools, so I have no idea why I've been paying for all this stuff when it's super easy to make my own mini bases, and stuff like the castle molds.


Time to get started...

I love making terrain.

Yes. But I really need to finish up the Roman armies so I can start on the Pirates.

Yesterday's action though featured a homebrew Halo Wars tabletop mashup game. The boy had trouble with building the Warthog, so I gave him a hand with that, and then we setup a battleground on the living room coffee table.

I have a small fortune in minis.  I haven't really painted them since I moved to Tennessee from Iowa (4 years ago).  Partly it was because of small children (I have a 2 year old and a six year old) so even though I have plenty of space now, I'd still have to get everything set up.  Oh, and time.  What I really ought to do is paint during my weekly game.  

Especially since I have a Vampire Bones kickstarter with a couple hundred in add-ons....  I have a lot of painting I'd like to do.

I don't, and never have.

Like I said, its a whole other hobby within the hobby; sometimes really impressive, but not my thing.
