Sadly the only Lgs I have access too does not carry Reaper. He only has Citadel paints and some very old GW minis that look like they've been there years.

I'm pretty lucky to be living in a college town. Three dedicated gaming stores, with a few comic shops that have gaming stuff. None of them has everything, but between them, I can get most of what I need. One has Reaper paints, one has Army Painter and Gale Force Nine stuff, and the other has all the GW stuff you could want. They all carry Reaper minis, with variance between their individual stocks.

Gosh. I live in a university neighborhood, and all we have is a ton of new and used bookstores and one comics shop that carries a little game stuff but no minis.

It's a really serious, non-frivolous university, mind. I think there's one tavern in the whole neighborhood. And the bookstores are recognized as some of the best in the region. And there's a fantastic games and minis store an hour's drive out of town, so all is not lost.

Gee Argentee I "almost" feel bad about bragging that I don't have to worry about shipping.......
8-)

I do however have to worry about spending WAY to much when I am home and just happen to hop into the truck to head over to Reaper. I think I have only been able to get out once without spending over $25. And to be honest that was just to prove that I could do it once......lol

I just wish that I actually had more time to get in on Saturdays for the paint club. Being a field service guy, who's field is pretty much Nationwide means I am not home nearly as often as I would like to be, and when I am, there is a pile of things to be done in a short amount of time. :-(

Oooh.... Ther are only a few things more frustrating than thinking you have all the mold line removed, and as you begin to paint....look there's one.....oh dang, there's another one, where the heck did that one come from!!!!! Just part of the hobby.......what would you do if here were no flash or mold lines? Probably lose your mind wondering where it's hidden at.......lol

I had to call my friend's wife one time and ask about color coordinating different dresses and shoes. She didn't ask why. She did, however, stop trying to fix me up with her friend.

You can feel free to message me next time you have a question on that Buglips. My wife, best friend and my little sister all take me shopping with them because I have uncannily good sense of what will look good on them.

My husband is like that too. I'm an artist, and I've got a sense of color, but he has the talent to find the one outfit in a store that will look wonderful. Clothing shopping with him tends to be very brief and very rewarding.

[CashWiley]

Structure is as important as color. So few women understand the clothing structures that fit their body. The industry isn't helping (my fiancee is a petite, thus relegated to a few racks if you're lucky).

Am I the only one who posts from their phone during then day, then logs on to the full version of the board at night when I get home to see how many likes I got? It's like I'm checking my score...

[Dan Goodchild]

Nope. It's important to know your score; if not, why keep track?

My phone IS my Internet access, but I always view in full mode so I get to see the notifications as they happen.

Considering I've yet to post any of my painted minis here, I'm pretty happy with how my likes are going.

No.

My closest LGS is 2.5 hour drive on the highway away with no Reaper.

So I just mail order.
