Haha it would be even more awesome if they finished the outside to look like a real briefcase. Walk in with it looking business like and bust out some Blood Bowl.

Ashcans have you read the WIP of that one giant marine? He uses the crackle medium for the off white areas of the armor.

http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=31535

He starts using the crackle on page 4 but uses a different company.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what agitators I could put into my pots of paint? I know BBs are a no-go because they'll rust and that's just bad news. I don't really have any spare bits of metal sprue to use. Maybe a plastic bead of some sort? I can't imagine acrylic paint reacting poorly with plastic, but I'm just asking here to see if anyone has other suggestions.

One of those plastic coated magnetic stir bars :science:

posting this here as well, let's say someone was insane and wanted to build a 40k scale zeppelin that was about the size of a valkyrie, would anyone have any advice or resources to get the insane person on the right track?

I think it would have to be a lot bigger than a valkyrie unless it was for epic scale.

But godamn, 30 euros including postage? gently caress that noise

Keep in mind those are 1/35 scale (54mm)

You could have the side tanks feed into the rear mixing tank and have some body parts suspended inside and have the two (assuming there are two) rear mixing tanks have bottom pipes which route into the back middle of the baneblade (maybe combine into one larger pipe).

I was also considering doing something similar for my stormlord kit that I bought, but I haven't really done any work on it. Additionally I was planning on magnetizing everything so that it could be switched between all the variants :suicide:

That's part of my plan. I'm not sure whether it'd be best to mix ink with the effect, or just paint the a false bottom and then pour water effects over the top though.

One of the tutorials I saw was using scrub flock on the bottom, then pouring water effects over it, it looked tight

Yeah I think that's the route I might go,but I'll probably try one more idea and give the pig a couple wheels on the back of him, like those "wheelchairs" for dogs and stuff with paralyzed hind legs.

Do this, make it like a half track with legs on the front and track on the back...

I might have to do this myself, I have an unopened nobz box...

Are there any pin vises out there that will hold a 1/8" bit? I currently have to just use my hand. Tonight in the process of drilling magnet holes for another set of assault terminators, I managed to not only put a huge blister on my index finger, but burst it as well. I'm sure it will feel lovely when I go kayaking tomorrow, too.

I know this pain.

I think 3/32 is the largest bit I could jam in my old GW hobby drill.

Hey! Backoff Miniwargamer Dave, he's cool. Well, actually he can be a bit much sometimes but miniwargaming.com is an impressively progressive and involved gaming store. I know they have their own profits in mind at the end of the day, but they do provide loads of tutorials, videos and contests via their site.

I've seen this in action. Someone at my shop stripped a whole army using this and an Xacto knife to pick out the little bits that got stuck in the cracks. I forgot what solvent they used but it wasn't one I remember reading about before. It sprayed on but it wasn't oven cleaner. And it was for metal only. I don't see a point in getting this to strip one model but he said it was totally worth it to strip a whole army.

If your hands won't stop shaking, lay off the caffeine. If you can manage to quit completely, you will notice a dramatic decrease in shakiness. Unless you have some other medical problem.

Looks like one of those cheap toothbrushes.
