Title: New Year New Blog
Post by: Merkeysa on 09 January 2015, 10:10:16 PM
thought i would share Our new Blog

http://noobsandtheirpaintbrush.blogspot.co.uk/

What we are is the start of a "Clog"or community blog and we are over time hoping to have interviews, reviews, unboxing, Wips, war reports, miniature news, events, competitions and articles related to the miniature painting/wargamming.

I personally am more to do with the painting side.

if you have any other questions I am more than willing to answer them the best I can.

Also happy new year to you all

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

as for the 10mm news and information yes there is always a place for it. but painting them not sure that will happen any time soon unless you would like to do a Wip or artical on them

But I wrote a article last night that might be helpful with paint very small figures

The detail on those is insane but, at that scale, I feel it's more like a canvass than a mini.

Awesome work =D>

Never understood the desire to paint things like that, not that they aren't beautifully painted, and then just have them laying about. Painting something to play with yes, painting something that just gathers dust ... ??!?? I have more than enough clutter in my house without deliberately creating more!

But, as I often say, each to their own.

These aren't minis in the sense I think of them, they are art; pure and simple.

Agree with you about the clutter ;)

The second bunch are equally impressive =D>

There were a couple of stands at the Alumwell show with this "sort of thing" and close up, they are even more impressive.

Ridiculous level of skill :o
