In today\'s local headlines

[Hinton]

Talking to people about miniature painting is one thing; being interviewed and then having it be on the front page of the paper is something else. Feels kind of weird.

You can read the full article here:

The front page:

(P.S. The more the story is viewed, the more it moves towards the top on the home page of the website. Just saying )

To be honest, I thought this was a fake when I saw the picture. But... whoa. Nicely done.

 

[Ritual]

That\'s nice! Good of you to drop a few deserving company names in there as well!

 

[Dragonsreach]

Bueno.

 

[Avelorn]

Nice!

 

[Beelzebrush]

Heheh! Nice article Hinton... and, like Anders said, well done for dropping the company names into it!

I wish I\'d noticed the link to the article sooner.... I think I\'ve gone blind reading the pic of the cover above lol

 

[majestic0110]

That is really cool ! I also did what Beelzebrush did (read the pic before I saw the link) :::Sore head now::: lol

 

[Amazon warrior]

See.... I always said mini painting can bring fame and fortune! Well, fame anyway..... lol

Congrats, it\'s a cool article.

Sure way to become a chick magnet.

We mini painters are already chick magnets. The problem is, a lot of us are polarized the wrong way, so it\'s like North to North... they push away.

 

[War Griffon]

Way to go, well done

This was really great to read. Thanks for putting yourself out there and helping the visibility of our twisted little world. :twisted:

 

[Hinton]

Thanks, everyone.

Apologies for the headaches I caused. I changed the post around so that the article link is at the top. Sorry about that. :redface:

Absolutely. I really wanted to get some of them in, although I wasn\'t sure how they were going to publish them.

I did mention CMoN, but it didn\'t make it into the article.

That\'s pretty much all I was thinking about when I agreed to the interview: just trying to increase the visibility of the hobby.

 

[Shadzar]

I read it to help it move to the top, but I refused to accept the cookie. Only like my own home baked cookies.

 

[Kester]

Yeah, but more importantly, I get a mention. I think that it\'s the mention of me that got got it on the front page.

Well it\'s a good article partly because it\'s respectful and doesn\'t go in with a \"what a weirdo\" approach... which can easily come out in some journos\' tone when writing a feature piece about a local weirdo
