Painting Miniatures…

13. October 2006 at 2:41 pm (General Stuff, Miniatures)

Hah, my first tries to paint miniatures were about 15 years ago, I guess (yes I am not that young anymore…*g*) and I never had the patience to get really deep into it, though the one or the other mini I painted wasn’t that bad… I believed…

But than came my girlfriend Nicole – now my wife – some two or three years back and searched for a new hobby. Well she always was good in handcrafts and painting and her first painted miniatures (the valkyres found here: Rigana’s Mini Gallery) were much better than everything I have done before – not to mention her later paintings…

But nevertheless I never gave up my hopes on this and I am still buying miniatures to paint from time to time. Some years ago (I believe it must be about 9 or 10 years now) – while I was deep into the mini thing – my best friends made me a special birthday present: a impressive and huge Ral Partha dragon made of tin who was called T’Char.

Until three days ago, I never finished painting the dragon though I tried several times and also often started anew from the very beginning. So I am now more than proud about my yet finished work, after so many years I’ve finally made it. I finished the famous T’Char… ah and yes, I painted the one or the other mini too in the last days I spend at home, while curing my operated foot.

Here are some pictures taken on a fast shot. Perhaps I will do some better in the future, but for now these must do as well.
