Great War Miniatures Pics

Nothing at all. It's what I do, for clothes at least. Especially when I need to do piles and piles of fellas all dressed the same.


Some folks (especially over at that other place) don't care for it though, and tend to berate it and shout it down.

It's ok I was only having a bit of a laugh helps pass a bright but particularly uninteresting afternoon in the office. Which all of your posts do by the way

That other place is that the very gig global type company based in Notts with lots of high street shops? :mrgreen:

No, The Miniatures Page.

The other week there was a huge flame-war there when advocates of two different painting styles (one of which being the Dallimore high-contrast 3-colour thing) had an enormous bloody spat, which went on for post after post, and soon degenerated into name-calling, petty bickering, and threats of violence. In the end there were all kinds of accusations flying about, even to the extent of one chap accusing another of sending porn to his computer while his grandchildren were using it!  

It was pathetic and sad. And also hilarious. You don't see that kind of thing here much, probably because we are a smaller crowd, and all seem to get along, and we aren't here just to bitch and whine.

 :oops:

Sorry mate confused once more.

I personally like both just can't do either particularly brilliantly.

Kevin Dallimores book really made it seem staright forward and I frequently dip back into it.

I can't believe that that sort of thing goes on in forums its just sad. We all do stuff different its what makes us individual.

By the way I've seen your blog it's great now encouraged to be more silly about wargaming and names and stuff thanks :mrgreen:

There's no need to be  :oops:   I wasn't exactly clear about what I was talking about, was I?

Internet squabbling is stupid, but it is also funny. Not sure where I stand on it.

I don't have the Dallimore book, but I quite often look at his website for inspiration. I've just found that I had a bucket of Space 1889 High Martians that I'd forgotten and I'm all inspired to paint them. So I'm going to copy the ones on his site. Would you recommend the book?

I would but you've got to bear in mind that I was a slap it on does it look ok sort of guy for years and years.

When I came back to the hobby at Christmas  it was like starting as a beginner and he made sound really easy. He takes you from the start of the model to the finish based up and varnished article. Its £25ish and I got it as a present .

Loads and loads of pics and different painters like Tom Weiss Chris Steadman etc... all good. Its the sort of thing I will look at for inspiration and hints and tips from time to time. But even for an experienced painter it may be good. I didn't put it down for about three months. ::

Slap the paint on, a bit of layering (high lights ) dry and wet brushing galore and an oil wash to hide the bad bits    thats me. There are some wonderful paint jobs on this site and I know IU can never match it so I do my own thing

I'm more embarassed by unpainted lead languishing in boxes than I am about stuff that may not be up to Dallimore's standards, but is ready for the table!

Well they are not the ones filling your cases with painted miniatures so they should put a sock in it!  Jeez the nerve of some people...
