Hello, all once again! Today I thought I'd post up a tutorial on how to strip Warhammer 40k miniatures. Of course this can be used for most any other wargaming miniature as well, I've only ever collected 40k so that's what I'll be using in this tutorial. Before I begin let me clarify that this is not scientifically backed up, it is simply what I have experienced over years of collecting/stripping Games Workshop models. For those of you searching for a material to strip painted models without melting the model itself I use acetone based nail polish remover, I've tried acetone free but found it's results far less satisfying and quite a bit more damaging to the models as they need more time to soak before they can be stripped. First of all you'll need to find an an old plastic cup (or container depending on the type on mini being stripped). Only fill enough of the cup to cover a single mini.This is because in the past, to my saddening detriment, that soak...

Hello! Welcome to my first actual post about a painting I've done. Now, it's taken me an extremely long time to actually get around to doing some painting (I've no excuse, I just didn't want to challenge myself) so I kicked myself up the bum and decided to give one a go today. I only had one decent sized canvas and this one had been cut (not sure how), which detracts a fair bit from the scene, I also didn't have the money to go out and purchase another one, so I just made do. I make no claims about being the greatest artist in the world, I know I am merely a novice, but I do enjoy it (when I actually get a round to doing it) and was very surprised with what I came up with, especially since the last time I completed a painting was over ten years ago, and in highschool for that matter. So without further ado, here it is: As you can see I'm not very good with trees, but I think I did pretty well with the clouds, shrubbery and hills despite the length of ...

Hello! Have I ever been busy.  Over the past couple of weeks I've been struck by a huge creative bug, and as an avid war gamer, I noticed that the one I was lacking was some really cool scenery. So, with this in mind, I looked up a bunch of tutorials on how to create your own, for cheap, and decided to try my hand at it.  The following pics are of what I created, and I thought it all turned out pretty damn well, considering this was only my first time truly giving it a go. My aim was to create a whole lot of greenery and ruins, but after watching a tutorial on painting snow, I decided to at least half in a more winter dominated theme. Also, everything you see in these photos was painted by me as I am a poor student with no money to pay others for a professional finish. I have to give a huge thank you to Dave, and Papa Smurf from miniwargaming , LordOrionis, and Milos and Shomi from Quick Tips for all of the great tips on creating and painting this sc...
