First Miniatures you used for D&D?
I wanted too, I really did. Somewhere there is still a box of paints and figures buried away that I spend a few hours fumbling through every time my wife makes me clean out the closets.
The problem is that no one in my group
seemed keen. My attempts on my own ended up with little pewter
statues covered in blobs of paint. It wasn't until I hit my working
years that I came close to actually learned anything. I was working
nights at a computer softwear company with a guy named Gilmore. We
were there to do after hours tech-support (installations mostly), but
we spent most of the time playing Half-Life against the printing
department.
Gilmore also a sideline, he painted
Warhammer miniature armies for other people. He was quck, and he was
awesome. Made terrain as well. On nights he had a project, there
would an an assembly line running from the base layer drying in the
loading dock, to the completed pieces ready to be spray-sealed in the
lobby.
He taught me all about dry-brushing and
layers and blending. Most of which I've completely forgot. I ended up
with two pieces that I'm happy with. Two pieces.
One of these days, I'm going to get
that box out and spend some proper time.
