Reply To: Why Don't You Use A Painting Service?

[Thuseld]

I have seen my painting skills increase over the past 5 years. That wouldn’t happen if someone else painted them.

If I paint the miniatures then I feel a connection to them. They fit MY  vision, exactly as I see it, not someone else’ interpretation of my vision.

It would also feel like cheating.

BUT: My lead mountain is more of a mole-hill. I got excited and bought a load of 6mm miniatures, but now am working my way through them before ordering more. (A white lie, as I have ordered some for Christmas).
