Resources
I decided to start compiling a resource list to help me with my commission work. I realized after a bit, that I did a lot of frustrating searching, looking for a particular GW bit (I don't like to purchase the whole box for one single bit, unless it's less expensive to do so), or trying to find someone that made a specific part I needed for a model.I also, from time to time, hit an impasse over what a particular miniature is missing, so I like to go through several sites and just browse, to see if something particular jumps out. I have sooo many different sources I use for inspiration, parts, and resources, and I wanted to share my list in hopes it might inspire some creativity in others
Enjoy
If you've got someone to add, send me a message. I'll keep updating it periodically, and may even incorporate the list into my website as well. Just send me a message with the Name of Person/Store, Website, and a small review (ie. what they have, if you've used it, and the quality of their parts) I'll try to work my way through, site by site, order something from them (if I haven't already) and give an objective review of it. I'll also credit anyone at the bottom who sends in ideas that I add to the list.
