Why I Should Be a Finalist

I like having nicely painted figures on the tabletop as the "moving diorama," as some have called it. It is one of the appeals of miniature wargaming for me. I quit playing WW2 miniature games solely because painting the uniforms of that period is really dull.

I've been painting since 1987 but I do not consider myself a professional. Although I have sold some pieces for tidy sums, I paint primarily for fun and relaxation. In my semi-real life I'm a professional technical director and scenic designer in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.

Painting Sample
MM giant bugs

These MM giant bugs were some of my favorite minis ever and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the entire world who bought them.
