    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I often find myself growing impatient as I approach the end of a project. Depending on how much I care, because not every project is important to me, I typically just stop, walk away, and pick it up a few hours later or the next day.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I have a hard time with contrast. At first it'll look fine to my eye, but then after I've finished I realize everything looks like the same color. Your mini looks pretty good. I like the dramatic rock he's standing on.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    And here’s Grimtalon. For $32, this is a pretty good model, but there are some problems. I thought I'd be clever and paint this in sub assemblies, but I had a hard time fitting the wings into the body. I tried to do some repairs after attaching the wings, but you can see it from the top if...

    OSR There are TWO 'lost' Gygax castles crowdfunding right now

    Every time I see this thread it reminds me of my favorite memetic legend. A man traveling to a game convention for the first time came upon a gamer who had two Gygaxes, both were the same size, and they fought one another continuously. The man asked the gamer which Gygax usually wins. The...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    As I've said in other threads: I like a slice of cheesecake once in a while. That doesn't mean I want it with every meal.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Everyone knows chain is great for protecting you from slashing attacks but not piercing. I think it's fair to say D&D art is kind of a mixed bag as far as representation goes. It's not hard to find women wearing silly outfits but then it's not hard to find them wearing something a bit more...

    "Make no mistake! I'm exactly where I want to be!" -- Giant with Septum Ring Carrie Fisher said in more recent years she had been asked by fans how they can explain Leia in a metal bikini to their daughters. Fisher asnwered, "Tell them Jabba made me wear that outfit, so I killed him." I...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I decided on red tailed hawk for inspiration. The head is a bit unlike most birds, and I'm trying to figure out what exactly I want to do with it even if I have the basic colors down. He's the happiest dragon I've ever seen! Love that bed of gold.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Sometimes you’ve got to laugh. I’ve put in a lot of effort painting the underside of the wings and I only just noticed most people won’t be able to see it when the mini is on the table.

    The barbarian reminds me of Bettie Page on steroids.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I’m closed to finishing the underside of one wing. I’ve been doing a lot of corrections on this thing.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Elmer's glue. I started with a base of rust color. One dry, I used a sponge to dab on some Elmer's glue and let that dry overnight. I don't know if you need to wait overnight, but I did. Then I applied the blue, the green, and I painted the flowers and let that dry overnight. I needed to...
