Chest of Colors forum

hay guys,
my names scott and i saw some of the work you guys do through a article. I used to be into Warhammer & 40k heavily back in the early-mid 90's but due to other things i gradually lost intrest lately however i have found a lot more free time and have started to get back into it all again. A lot of the new finecast figures still amaze me, i still remember the old lead rouge trader figures! Anyway i was always okish at painting but never grate though my conversion and modeling skills where always good. I always knew what i wanted a model to look like but it never really got there due to my lack of painting skills. So, after trawling through hundreds of 'pro' painting i came to the conclusion that this was the way to go for me anyway, though a lot of the so called 'pro' painters are far from it! No disrespect to anyone but i feel strongly that if your calling you our company a 'pro' miniature painting outfit then thats what it should be- end of. Some of the figures people claim are 'pro' painted on e-bay are a joke and it gets me mad as it detracts from guys like yourselfs who truely are. i can assure anyone coming on here for the first time that i have checked out 100's of sites and you WILL NOT BEAT THIS ONE for quality and price. I am in talks right now with Mahon on a comission peace and i cant wait for it to arrive, Mahon has been nothing but polite, helpful and accepting of my several changes and exacting specifications for the model..... cant wait to be able to show him off to everyone.

Welcome post pics and enjoy your stay!

welcome end hava a fun

Hi Scott

Nice to see you here!
There's been a lot of talking about what 'pro-painting' means. Is "professional" simply another word for very good, or does it mean "done as one's job".
Being a professional painter can mean that you do it for money, so as long as you get paid for what you do even the worst paintjob can be professional

@Maru,
No secret - I am handling the comms for the group, the painters do the painting. I won't be able to do their job because they have their styles and abilities, so it's better if they focus on what they're best at. And I work in front of my computer most of the time anyway. Plus I've been into the subject of commission painting that I have some experience with it, which most customers appreciate.
I hope it makes it clear

im stel counting to see "The MINI" at Huzzar

I'm late but... hello

Hello and welcome
