This past Friday marked the first Mini Paint Night at Game On in Gibsonburg, Ohio. I didn't take any pictures from that night's events, however there was a decent turn-out (approx. 10). The next Mini Paint Night will take place on Friday the 13th.
Kilt's and Burly Bearded Men - Proofs, (Brad L Bristley).
The following are proofs only. These images have not been altered in any way and appear in the manner in which they were shot. Additionally, I did not shoot these images.

Why I hate Army Painter primer
The images explain a lot. However, I recently watched an episode of Luke's APS on Youtube. While I think most of the time he is spot on. This is a topic we would disagree on. Luke claims that "it isn't the products" but "it's how you use them." I humbly disagree. The "tooth" listed on Amazon was more like "Sand." I believe they add a type of pumice inclusion in the white product. I found it flaking off in a white powdery dust, large clumps of sandy particles on the models, and they had an unnatural dryness to them. While it did cover in a few passes. Which is better than can be said of Vallejo primer white. You will most likely end up stripping them, in much the same way I did. The Vallejo white primer is most assuredly designed to be applied with an airbrush. properly applied primers should "shrink" onto the models. This is why many modelers have suggested using gesso instead of typical primers.
Gross texturing, causes an uneven painting surface.
Artistic Persuits
Today I will be launching a blog to capture all of my artistic persuits. Namely, Mini painting, Photography, Game Design, and Writing. Stay Tuned.
Some Completed Pewters from CB's bag'o-goodness
Nearly finished Ralpatha Pewter circa 1980. Difficult to tease detail from these.
Solitude's nearly finished Troll Mountain King model. To date one of my favorite models. This was a lot of fun to paint and could use some interesting techniques.
