What inspired you to start painting miniatures?:
I worked on plastic model car and airplane kits as a kid but it wasn't until I started collecting a few Grenadier models in the 1980's to use in my cheesy little Dungeons & Dragons games that I got on the painting kick. When Battletech and Warhammer hit me as a teenager my geeky wargames addled mind could no longer resist and I have been a fierce pewter junkie ever since.

Could you describe your approach to painting miniatures?:
I like to do an army en masse, not single models one at a time, so I have developed a quick style focused on consistent details with a limited palate. I paint models "from the inside out," generally beginning with whatever the prevalent color is going to be, then methodically moving to each successively smaller area, finally ending with the little details, eyes, and such. This way I can be really messy at first and not worry about it until the last stages. On each section I follow the same patter of basecoat, highlight, ink, then highlight again. My take on the Wargods' army appearance is historical with a fantasy twist and, as a consequence, I prefer to stick with natural and realistic colors that adhere to the Egyptian era.

What tips would you give a beginning painter on improving their technique?:
Abandon all hope ye that enters here. No, just kidding. Steal every good idea and technique you can get your grubby hands on. Keep at it and don't be afraid to add to the paint jobs on your older models once you get better. If in doubt, just slap some paint on it and move on. If in serious doubt, drink a Guiness, then just slap some paint on it and move on.

How many hours do you spend painting each week?:
More than I do drinking and less than I do sleeping... or is that the other way around?

What attracted you to Crocofile Games miniatures?:
Hanging out with Fitz back in 2000 and hearing him rant and rave about it! Once I saw his first batch of Heru sculpts and Des' sketches I knew I was done for. Now, finally all these years later I have an army done!

Do you play miniature games? If so, what miniature games do you play?:
Warhammer Fantasy, WarGods and Warhammer Historical.

What WarGods miniatures are you working on right now?:
Lots and lots of Asar and a Titan Overlord (hee, hee, hee...)
