Great, thanks for the links!

Thank you kindly for your replies and comments concerning my scenery

Battlefield terrain is something I make when there is not enough time to spend on a mini, but I feel the need to paint something quickly and see the results immediately

Yeah, Demi_morgana, Gildia Najemnikow, right?

How did You find out? Well, after all, spies have their own methods, especially industrial spy-zombies

Here are some more pics for you.

I definitely like your Sci-Fi scenery more than the tower. Stiull it's great that people care about scenery and produce such nice things

I'll be happy to see even more of it!

Come on Wulfen show us some more! I know what great stuff you are hiding in your room, you are just too lazy to paint it

Ha, ha, ha!

I know that I am still hiding that Palanquin of Nurgle I promised to paint for you, it is still bugging me but I am slowly finishing it...

Skrit, I'll post some links later, but you might want to search for Hirst molds, eslo terrain, dwarven forge, ziterdes.

Hello everyone (didn't find a "Presentation" section on the forum).
I'm dusting off this old topic because it's the best to present myself.

I'm French, living in Italy, married etc.
I do not paint minis nor do I make dioramas.
What do I do here then ?

Well, I found about you thanks to your ebay auction, and I was impressed with your work (minis).
So I went to your site, looked around, etc etc.
And since I found you guys very nice and always smiling, AND since I saw that you knew about Manorhouse, well, I couldn't not "register".

I know manorhouse first hand, because I found the artist online for a BIG project of mine.
And since I live, let's say, next door, well, we started a collaboration.
It's been a year, now, and I have already my first diorama, a Castle in Ruins (120x80cm):

I concur with what Nameless said: Manorhouse is expensive.
It's like a Ferrari, however. And Ferraris are sold around the world.

Now, the diorama you're seeing is, architectic-wise, a pearl, a gem. Better even than most of his past works.
He's currently making the second one I've asked (a Cemetery with Church) which will be fitting also next to the Ruined Castle (for a grand total of 280x80).
Next will be the dungeons.

I'll post pictures when I'll have them, but you'll have to wait some months I guess.
Back to prices: official prices are to scare a little bit would-be buyers (and it works: seeing the prices, you contact the artist knowing already what kind of money you're going to spend). Then of course arrangements can be made, but this way the artist filters out a lot of spam or clients that can't afford his work.
Things can be bought cheaper if you just buy the kits (resin), and then use your time to assemble them and paint.
He made a step by step tutorial on the Ruined Castle (uncompleted, as of now, but with most info still). I'm waiting for him to complete it to translate it in english.

As for me, well, I'm interested in minis because of RPG (D&D). Not the game "D&D minis". Real old school minis from D&D. I guess I should have around 400 painted.

And I've started looking for painted minis (mostly WH armies) for a big project of my own (the same that I buy the dioramas for).
Basically a week-long D&D session with some 8-10 dioramas at the bare minimum, a 1500+ minis painted representing armies, etc.
I'm planning this for the last session of a 20+ year D&d campaign.

Anyway, hi to everyone, and really astounding work!

Hi and welcome and boy that ruined castle is a huge project

Well i think what i like about this forum isn't that it's got some amazingly talented painters and modellers but because it is friendly and i think everyone has fun on here. So join in the fun !
