Hi Mini Fans,
I've been a fan of the site for many years, but I had a long hiatus from miniatures. When I returned, this site wasn't just a gallery anymore, it had become a beacon in the dark for indie mini's which is fantastic. I rediscovered the site due to Super Dungeon Explore. I'm painting again and love the many different new companies that have seemingly sprung up out of nowhere, at least to me. It's a shame that I live in Australia, because it's so hard to get variety downunder. Our retailers still haven't broken out of a very rigid bi-partisan habit of only importing the Coke and Pepsi, miniatures.
I'm currently waiting on 3 games that I ordered over 2 months ago, Samurai Battles, Ascending Empires and Krosmaster Arena. Only 1 being of miniature importance.
I am painting the first unit of The Order of the Vulture miniatures made for Michael Moorcock's new range of Hawkmon armies for Eureka miniatures who are the ones manufacturing them. Unfortunately we've just had the worst heat wave that I can remember and I have been unable to complete them due to acrylics being so fast drying. The temp has started dropping so I'll be able to continue soon.
The heat wave plus the Skylander figures has inspired me to create a new enamel technique for painting mini's though, and I'm pretty excited about starting that project.
Anyway, I just wanted to say "HI" and activate my profile privileges, hehe.

p.s. I still have the first Cool Mini or Not Annual that was printed years ago. It took about 6 months to get here back then, haha. But it was worth it.
