General Discussion / Miniature Storage & Transport

« on: February 27, 2018, 11:12:58 pm »

So my dreams of getting Battlefoam for everything I own will require (at least) winning a small Powerball jackpot.
 Think "I want to protect my well assembled, nicely painted miniatures", as I have had several transportation fails.  I do like the idea of separating each unit from others so they don't touch but that obviously comes at a cost.

What cheap/creative storage/transport solutions y'all are using.

Modeling Q&A / Glues...

« on: January 28, 2017, 03:11:09 pm »

Ok, total noob question, but I am a level 25 Master Collector of miniatures and a level 1 initiate at assembling and painting. Do you guys have favorite glues that you like to use?  Plastic, resin and or metal specific ones?  Gap filling, quick and normal cure?  What else should I need to know?  Besides the various super glues you can get anywhere, there are the Bob Smith Industries which I've used and the Gale force Nine super glue.

Thoughts and opinions?

Modeling Q&A / Spray/Paint Booths

« on: January 28, 2017, 02:57:00 pm »

Does anyone use/have one?  I'm starting to do a little research.  I think I'd like something to do airbrushing in as well as priming (which I've only done with automotive primers in spray cans outside), probably in my basement and venting outside.

Looks like there are some designed with airbrushes in mind

Anyone got two-cents they want to share?

General Discussion / Obscure Games

« on: January 22, 2017, 11:24:27 pm »

I have definitely seen other gamers argue in other places around the internet that simplicity is bad and complexity is good.

For those people, my go-to curse is that they have to play FASA's old INTERCEPTOR game, flow charts and all. ;-)

I once saw someone describe FSA as "Baby's first starship explosions."

If they think FSA is too simple, I wonder what they usually play. 20 volume SFB? Saganami Tac Sim? The original Babylon 5 Wars?

Ha!  Dale, I was going to say the same thing.  Playing full on Star Fleet Battles, with tons of optional rules, as a tween and teen, now THAT was complex.  We complain that a 1000 point FSA battle takes 4+ hours.  Try a cruiser and a frigate on each side in SFB...

Wanted to see if anyone plays/played.  Some questions:

Use the Project Continuum rules?
Favorite cannon faction?
Favorite miniatures?
What miniatures you've got?
Do you use rules for other miniatures?

Does anyone have parts to convert three Teuton Class Cruisers to three Hauberk Class Heavy Cruisers you'd be willing to sell?  Basically your leftovers from a Cruiser Group.

Looks like there are two sessions of Uncharted Seas and one of Battlefleet Gothic!

Is anyone interested in getting some DW/FA events together?  Or PF/Halo as well?
