Hello from Kent

[Michael Parkinson]

Hello to everyone, I'd just like to introduce myself - My name is Mike and I am a figure painter from Kent in the UK. I have been painting miniatures for the past couple of years, but I've only really got serious since last November. I am really trying to push myself and hopefully improve my technique. I'm blown away by the work on this site, you guys are truly amazing!

Hi, Mike and welcome to Planet Figure the best miniatures on the web. At the Planet it doesn't matter what you like to paint. It doesn't matter how well you paint it. All that matters is that you enjoy our shared hobby. Have fun looking around the site and feel free to ask any questions you may have. We're a friendly bunch and all in this together. Really like the Queen of the North (those eyes!) and am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome to the Planet, Michael! What kind of subjects do you like to paint? Do you have a favorite, or do you paint more than one or two?
I look forward to seeing your work!

Prost!

Hi Brad thanks for the kind welcome. I mainly like to paint busts. I don't really have a genre, I like fantasy and historical. I just like unusual models really, so anything that looks fun
