You were asked – TMP link

Do you find that you are improved as a human being after a lifetime of painting your miniatures?

i am healthier. I relax and It gives me time to think about history and the future. Miniatures symbolize the ongoing narrative of history for me, which is why I have come to believe that there is a strong connection between TMP and historical controversies that continue today. It is a place to share some of these views with rules to support the conversations.

Yes, because I paint some figures and sell them for charity.

Relaxes me, yes. If you try to touch them, no… ;-)

Calmer yes, always. Better person, who knows.

More attentive to other people's faces, yes. I am trying to improve my attempts ("skills" is too generous and unworthy a word to use here) at painting the faces of my miniatures by studying people in public and seeing where shades and highlights would be applied and what paint colors I would use from my paint collection. Fortunately, I haven't been given a beat down by strangers nor given a restraining order. Better person? No, not at all.
