Miniature painting

Its my new other hobby: Miniature painter. If add all miniature from all boardgames I own about 500+minatures (only Age of Mythology are 200) play with those miniatures painted give another felling of the game. Things turn more intersting.Everything started at www.redomanet.com when I saw some threads of boardgame collectors showing their miniatures painted. After weeks articles had been released about painting skills and this month I decided buy all the stuff and get started.
My first project is Gears of War - Boardgame, I'm almost finishing the game and left only 20% of all to have done. But with anothers 80% I have already put game on table and loved how everything turn out.
