Well, almost. For a diorama project my 13YO daughter painted a dozen or so 15mm figures for a hospital. She quite liked it. If she had been free she even wanted to go to Little Wars with me…. So I picked up in a trade some random Reaper figures. She painted up the first two, and here are the results:

Like the cowgirl, she is a keeper, now to get her painting the big battalions? |

Very nice start! Now show her your techniques on a father/daughter paint night. Some good bonding time! |

Yep, those look great! Thanks for sharing the pics. |

Wow, nice work. Please pass our compliments to her. |
| Texas Jack | 27 Apr 2015 11:10 a.m. PST |
Wonderful! Ask if she is taking commissions. It really is nice work, and I am sure you are one proud papa! |

So far we're strictly prime black, stay in the lines. The other night we started on a very simple highlight on her next (a gift for a friend of hers). She wants to get good enough to paint and sell on Ebay or through me. As for commissions, sorry I'm first in line! |

Very nice work. Having your child share the hobby with you is a priceless gift. |

Lovely work. You must be a very proud Daddy. |
| Frederick | 28 Apr 2015 5:25 a.m. PST |
Nice work What does she charge for commissions? |
| Extra Crispy | 28 Apr 2015 6:01 a.m. PST |
If you have to ask, you can't afford her  |

I'm impressed, Mark! for first time out thats fantastic. i remember my son's first venture with D&D figures and a few years later shaking my head at the unit patch details on his 40K space marines. How's it gonna feel when she can paint better than you can?
;-) great that you can share the hobby. i treasure the years my son and i had together attending cons. enjoy it…time and distance passes all too quickly. suddenly they are grown and have their own family. |

Well, I'm a very average painter so being better me is measuring the tallest midget for sure! |
| recon35 | 28 Apr 2015 7:27 p.m. PST |
Great work. I hope she stays with it. |

I'm quitting now, if those are her _first_ figures. She has a good technique (rotten kid…) |
