I thought I'd share another one of my hobbies which I use to do many years ago and only returned
to it off and on over the past four years or so.

It isn't much to look at and my feeble painting skills doesn't do the dragon miniature the justice it
deserves being a casting from a classic grenadier mold of the ultimate dragon. But here it is such as
it is.

Looks great! I used to do much simpler paint jobs, since I was in a hurry to get my units fielded in Warhammer games, and the paint would get all scuffed and chipped anyway.

I always admired the nicer paint jobs, but rarely had the patience.

[Sir Wolf]

wow thats cool

[Sir Brian]

You all are too kind, but I appreciate it. Since I got back into painting I have been absolutely
stunned at the amount of truly gifted painters out there. Still I like to think up and build miniature
snap shots of medieval and fantasy scenes...Of course my favorite CSI episodes were about the
minature killer...

[Sir Wolf]

i have some minis that i never did anything with. i have the keep from the movie The Warlord.

[Sir Brian]

The "Warlord" with Charlton Heston? That is one of my favorite movies of his and surprisingly accurate
concerning the arms and armor. Very cool! Do you have any pictures of it? 

[Dragonlover]

As far as miniatures go, I used to do my dad"s for him back in the day when he
was a dungeonmaster at D+D. I think he still has a couple of the trolls with their
warclubs that I painted. you can do wonders for shading by using a "dry-brush"
technique, and / or an airbrush....

[Sir Edward]

Yep, I ruined many a brush with dry-brushing. I did worn-metal tricks with that all the time, and all my skeleton warriors were dry-brushed over a black base-coat.

Boy this takes me back!

[Sir Brian]

It truly warms my heart to hear there are so many of us with fond memories of painting minatures
and it helps me not to lose motivation to keep trying, which can sometimes become difficult after
you've checked out some of the minatures on this page. You will not believe how far minature painting
has advanced over the years!

Yeah, that's nuts. I never had that much patience, and as I said, we used ours for gaming, so for me it was usually more of a "slap some color on that thing" sort of deal.   I really admire some of the work I've seen though. It was always fun looking over what was in the displays at the Games Workshop, for instance.
