Hi.
So you want to know a bit about me then. Well I was born and raised in County Durham, England where I still live with my partner, Melissa, and my 2 lovely children, Amy and Michael.

I first got into miniature painting when I was around 14 years old and passed a GW shop in Newcastle. Amazed by the tiny soldiers I was hooked and started collecting and painting them. Those were the days of no primer and treacle thick basecoats though and while I improved a bit it wasn’t until Melissa bought me the GW Lord of the Rings box set that my passion was rekindled. Around the same time I stumbled across Coolminiornot and its wealth of tips and articles and I started a one man mission to be as good as I could at mini painting. Gradually my painting improved to a decent level and I landed a gig painting minis for a new company called Sacred Blade Miniatures. After a short while I was contacted by Sally from Hasslefree asking if the Gymnast figure by them that I had painted was for sale. I sold it to her and after some chatting Sally asked me to join the Paintslaves, a talented group of painters that do the painting for Hasslefree. Of course I said yes and to date I have done a load of Hasslefree figures and not much else. I totally love the way Kev sculpts and could paint their minis all day long given the chance. Something I couldn’t do for anyone else.
