Tell you what...
This painting lark is a lot harder than I remember ! ......Doesn't help when most of the paints are getting a tad on the 'thick' side too.
(And I wish someone had given me a hint about spraying such small figures.....Kiera went flying when I pressed the wossname on top of the can !)
Cheers - Phil.

Ignoring all the obvious answers....

Double sided tape and painting sticks are very useful.

Water works wonders on paint - fairly thin is generally good for small figures.

If all else fails go for a roller

Always be careful pressing your wossname when you're stood next to Kiera

I'm beginning to think a certain person has more than one membership on this forum.

I was being very lazy Fred...I just stuck her onto the top of a wine cork..(Not the most stable of items to use perhaps)..rather than a stick/spatula....Which would have been far more sensible.
With luck I might just be able to save some of the old paints with water.....I'll give it a whirl.....Otherwise I'll find some old emulsion and use that roller.

Cheers - Phil.

Just a quick reminder, entry opens on Wednesday!   

Hi there,

This may be a question already answered, but what's the dimension of pic to post on the forum for the competition 2012?
Many thanks,

Sandro

The easiest way is to host the pictures somewhere else (like Flickr/Photobucket/etc.), and then link them from here.  If you need any help with that, let me know.

You can also post them directly, using the 'Additional Options' when you are typing your post, but these attachments are limited to only 128kb per pic.

Figures and materials arrived although no "dispatched email" has been received 
Anyways, starting off tomorrow and will post after finisheing.

Will it be allowed to open my own WiP thread???

Hmm, the email was sent, it must have been lost into the interwebs!

WIP threads are great, it's always good to see the entries progress, and you can start those threads in the Painting Comp board: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/board,61.0.html

The 2012 Pendraken Painting Competition is now officially open!  Good luck to everyone!   

I was painting my entry this morning when by accident my 3 year daughter slighly cut my right eye's cornea so I'll have to wait a few days until I resume my painting. Not a good start, ins't it?  

No....That isn't a good start !
Are we talking a sharp fingernail or a Swann Morton 10A........? (Sorry, that's not in the slightest bit funny !)
Hope that's better really soon blacksmith....Bet that's bloody sore....
Cheers - Phil

Actually the thing is pretty painful and right now I look like a bloody pirate with my eye patched, but according to the doctor it's going to be just a couple of days if things don't get complicated (crossing fingers). So I hope I'll publish my entry in a week or so, quite before the end of the comp.

OUCH......Hope that feels a lot more comfortable soon 'B'...and there are no complications....Get well soon.
Cheers - Phil

Thank you! 

Blimey, that sounds sore. 

Haven't suffered that badly at the hands of my children, worst was getting bumped on my just broken nose by my then 3 year old.

I've had the worst child related pain of all time.

A stickle brick...
...on the floor...
...in the dark...
...with bare feet.

Mounted skeletons goes in mounted categorie or fantasy?

Ouch! but still I  think a hurt in the eye wins
BTW, Leon has told me off-board that I'll get extra points in the painting competition for being Wounded in Action, right Leon?

Ah, it's not me you need to bribe, I'm not judging anything!  You need to send Nik a bottle of single malt, that'll do the trick...!
