[QUOTE="tallyrand, post: 4825081, member: 61879"] So just who is this Tallyrand guy, and why should we listen to him? What does he know? Well, I've been painting minis for about 20 years, and I love it. I started painting right as I started gaming, and they have always gone together for me. Even when I wasn't gaming, I was still painting minis. Here's a couple pix shared oven in Chronoplasm's "My First Minis!" post. the first here is the second miniature i ever painted, the first one did not belong to me, a friend lent it to me, so i could try out painting them for myself. I painted this guy pretty much from my list of things not to do. He was unprimed, painted with Testor's high gloss enamel model paints using a plastic bristled brush. [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3654/3598968967_71108164c0_o.jpg[/IMG] That being said, here are a batch of those that I have painted over the last year. these are mostly all Player Character minis that my group uses for D&D. My DM pretty much hung up his brushes when pre painted minis became available, and he probably has a collection to rival anyone, so He provides the bad guys that we only have to look at until we kill them, and I provide the ones for the characters. [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3312/3598968969_166e234e1b_o.jpg[/IMG] A bit of improvement after 20 years. These are about a 7-8 on my personal 1-10 scale, after this point, I kind of start running into a problem with diminishing returns, where the painting time nearly doubles for each additional notch on the scale I want to bump it up. Even after this time, I am still working on ways to improve my painting game, right now I am working with both hand painted detail, and non metalic metals, and I am slowly getting better with both.
