Comments welcome!

Welcome to the Masterclass Miniature Painter's Group. It is assumed that either
you have been invited here, you are an experienced painter, or at least on the
verge of expanding your skills to include some advanced painting techniques.

This group is not for new painters, as there are many other groups and forums
to help beginners learn the hobby, but for experienced painters, who want to
learn, study and compare their works with other great artists. If you are a new
painter, please try this group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mini-painter/
They are more than willing to help and have extensive archives of posts and
help topics :D

It is expected that work posted by you will be critiqued or commented on by
other group members, and not all comments will be flattering of course! The aim
of this group is to increase the skill and knowledge of the members.

Also, we run several online contests or friendly showings from time to time,
and all members are welcome to enter, or to vote in said events. However, they
are not the driving force behind the group, but are aimed at increasing
participation, sharing art and technique and having a little fun!

I hope you enjoy being a member, and if the group is not for you, please find a
more suitable one to help you out!

A note on bouncing e-mails: If your account is bouncing, I will remove you and
you must rejoin. The group is getting so large that I don't have the time to
send out reminders and such!

Thank you :)

Hey Everyone, I am sorry to have to post this but due to some staffing
issues we have had to cancel the GW painting Contest we were going to
have this coming Saturday, July 12th.  I do apologize to all of you
who may have worked very hard on getting models ready and I will post
here when we look to reschedule the event.  Again, my apologies and
thank you for your understanding.

Hey everyone I thought you might be in need of some information on
times for our big weekend.

The "Golden Gears" Painting Contest Sign in times are from 11AM to
12:30 on Saturday with a first cut happening at 1:30, a final cut at
3:30 than an awards program at 5PM with Pick Up right after unless we
need any additional pictures.

League Play on Saturday will have a sign up from 11AM to Noon.  Play
will go on the top of every hour from Noon until 7PM with an awards
program following probably around 7:30PM.

Sunday's Steamroller event will have a sign in from 10AM to 11AM with
five rounds to follow.  I see this ending around 6:30/7PM with awards
and clean up after.

I have seen the trophies and they are great.  The painting trophies
are blue ribbon trophies with our logo in the center and the
Steamroller trophies are a golden laurel with our logo in them.  These
and the prize support from Privateer are really going to make this
special!  FYI we will be taking photographs all weekend for an after
report for No Quarter Magazine.

This is a fan video showcasing some painted versions of sculpts by Bob
Ridolfi. Mr. Ridolfi (as most of you know) has been sculpting fantasy,
sci-fi, and horror miniatures for numerous mini manufacturers since
the 1970s, but is currently one of Reaper's top talents.  He's known
for blending a bit of "spooky and creepy" into the putty of his greens.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRlhnpUQ0uk

If your YouYube screen offers the "play in high quality" option (just
under the playback 'monitor'), click that for tremendously sharper images.

The credits at the end of the video list the name of the mini-painters.

As lots of you know, ReaperCon 2008 opens this week in Denton, Texas,
USA. They always have world class painting and sculpting talent on
hand for their classes. This year is no different, and in fact Reaper
managed to snag Jeremie Bonamant Teboul, the painting genius and
Golden Demon zillion winner from France.

I've decide that miniature conventions should start producing
"trailers" -- as is done for movie blockbusters slated as coming
attractions.

Here's my rough idea of what a trailer for a mini convention might
look like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWwX88ToQv4

Turn UP the volume, and click the "play at high quality" setting for
You Tube if your computer will support that.

Enjoy. <grin> :)

Games and Stuff's WarMachine/Hordes East Coast Spectacular

It's time to let you in on the coolest miniatures event on the east
coast this summer.  This June 21st and 22nd, Games and Stuff will hold
its first all Privateer Press weekend event.  This weekend promises to
be full of exciting game play, great contests, and interesting panels
all aimed at the great fans of WarMachine and Hordes.

Our major event this weekend will be a two day, 750 point
WarMachine/Hordes tournament.  We are pulling all of the stops out
with this Steamroller tournament, including prizes for the top of each
faction, best painted army, best sportsman, best Warmaster (General),
Player's Choice, and Best of Tournament.  We believe this tournament
will be one of the best on the east coast so you do not want to miss
it.  This will also be a great way for you to see if your armies for
the Gen Con tournament will hold up against some of the best players
in the area.

Along side the tournament we will be having our "Golden Gears"
Painting Competition.  This painting competition will allow those of
you with a more artistic flair to go all out.  We will be following
the rules for the Privateer Press Gen Con painting contest so again
this will be a great way to get ready for Gen Con.

Other events we are planning will include a Speed Painting event each
day of the Spectacular, with prizes for those who can paint the best
model in two hours.  Seminars will include topics such as
Modeling/Converting your miniatures, Selecting a Color
Theme/Composition for your army, and Display Boards/Terrain choices
for your army.

The tournament for this event will be limited to the first forty
people signed up so pre-registering is strongly encouraged.  Each
tournament will cost $30.00 per person and that will include one free
entry into the painting contest.  Tournament participants can enter
additional models into the contest at a cost of $5.00 per entry.
Individuals who are not participating in the tournaments can still
enter the painting contest, at a cost of $5.00 per entry.  The Speed
Painting events and the seminars will be free and are a great way for
new fans of WarMachine and Hordes to see how they can get their armies
to that next level look.

So if you are new to miniatures gaming and want to learn more or are a
true miniature enthusiast, you should keep updated on this major event
at http://gamesandstuffonline.com/events.asp.  There we will be
posting the rules for the tournament, the painting contest and more on
other events as we get the information.  Hold on to your long coats
because this one will be big!

Got some spamscum filling up the files section if any moderator wants
to drop the big hammer on them

Dear All:

For my own use I created an excel spreadsheet listing some of the most
common miniatures brands used today, Reaper MSP, Citadel, Vallejo Game
Color, Formula P3.  The list covers all of the paints and inks,
arranged by P/N, with Description, a Color Swatch, plus columns for
tracking inventory.

I thought I would share it with the folks on this list.  I will take
requests for a future update with the following limitations; the paint
must be currently shipping and must be a brand specifically for
miniatures, i.e. not craft or standard painters acrylics/oils etc.

Enjoy

Regards,

Gunnar

Welcome to the Masterclass Miniature Painter's Group. It is assumed that either
you have been invited here, you are an experienced painter, or at least on the
verge of expanding your skills to include some advanced painting techniques.

This group is not for new painters, as there are many other groups and forums
to help beginners learn the hobby, but for experienced painters, who want to
learn, study and compare their works with other great artists. If you are a new
painter, please try this group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mini-painter/
They are more than willing to help and have extensive archives of posts and
help topics :D

It is expected that work posted by you will be critiqued or commented on by
other group members, and not all comments will be flattering of course! The aim
of this group is to increase the skill and knowledge of the members.

Also, we run several online contests or friendly showings from time to time,
and all members are welcome to enter, or to vote in said events. However, they
are not the driving force behind the group, but are aimed at increasing
participation, sharing art and technique and having a little fun!

I hope you enjoy being a member, and if the group is not for you, please find a
more suitable one to help you out!

A note on bouncing e-mails: If your account is bouncing, I will remove you and
you must rejoin. The group is getting so large that I don't have the time to
send out reminders and such!

Thank you :)

Micley L. Leach

Thanks James,
Yes the Imperial Noble with the monkey will be available soon. I will
be releasing all the miniatures on that page over the next few months.
http://www.victorialamb.com/original%20miniatures.html
   I'll announce the dates as soon as I have them.
Cheers,
Vic

is the empire noble one of the ones you intend to release? I love the monkey

There are still things to add, but it is functional and working (as far as I can
tell)

The aim of this site is to showcase a simple, easy to view portfolio of my work.
It covers my
miniatures and my day job (design) separately.

I'd be grateful to anyone who can spare a few minutes to click around a bit.
Let me know If stuff does not work, or make sense or reads like the ravings of a
mad person.
I also appreciate any suggestions for things you would like to see or
improvements on the
format or content.

There is a preview of a small range of miniatures I plan to release in the next
few months.
Any comments or suggestion related to these is also welcome.

Hi All,
After many hours at Dreamweaver 8 I've made a completely new website.
There are still things to add, but it is functional and working (as far as I can
tell)

The aim of this site is to showcase a simple, easy to view portfolio of my work.
It covers my
miniatures and my day job (design) separately.

I'd be grateful to anyone who can spare a few minutes to click around a bit.
Let me know If stuff does not work, or make sense or reads like the ravings of a
mad person.
I also appreciate any suggestions for things you would like to see or
improvements on the

Little Big Men Shield transfers.  I am still working on the technique
to apply them.  They are a pain to apply, because each two halves,
both of which must be cut out by hand.  Fiddly work, an dtime
consuming, but the results look good.  To get to the point, there are
transfers for Greeks.  My customer is sending me some of the
transfers, and I will see how they work for the Greeks.

  Crude, but effective enough - When money allows I will get a macro
lens for the camera.  Ultimately there will be light box and a digital
SLR, but those are dreams at this time.

I hardly conside rmyself to be a master, by the way.

aggrivating..I think you have more patience then me pal :)..yeah all
