Thanks for allowing me in

I'm a long time modeler, off and on, and got into paining lead minis in college, then fell out of it. More recently I'm back into it. Have pounds of unpainted lead in 25mm, but more recently I'm getting interested in 75mm and 150mm figures. Right now I'm just looking to learn what the past 20 years have developed as best practices for doing lead minis. My skills are limited right now, but I'm reading and watching youtube vids to learn more. Videos are such a boon compareed to back in the day when the best you got were some color references.

Here are a few of my old-school minis painted in college. http://atombum.com/Images/Models/CofCMinis/

Welcome Robert. A great deal has changed over the years. Everything is far more expensive but the quality and variety of figures has never been better.

Welcome rja . If you are looking at 75mm + you will be spoilt for choice. A word of advice, keep your wallet closed until absolutely sure. LOL.

Regards,

Mark
