Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Ocala, FL. Moved here 7 years ago.
I've been involved with Games Workshop products for over 10 years and have collected hundreds of figures. I used to travel for business and would travel with a case of models and paints and spend evenings in the hotel painting a few models. Since there was no source for the models in Ocala, I would also visit a Games Workshop store where ever I could to purchase paints and models. I have armies from the three big variations of GW games: Warhammer Fantasy ( Dwarves, Bretonians ), Warhammer 40K ( Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Tyranids, Necrons, Sisters Of Battle, Vostroyan Imperial Guard, Dark Eldar ), and Lord of the Rings ( figures from both good and evil forces ).
There is no one near me to actually play the game with so I built a 4'x4' game table with scenary ( river, road, hills, trees, bridge, etc ) to battle myself. I've also built some buildings ( Sisters Of Battle Temple with a stained glass window, etc ) from scratch as well as some GW buildings ( Cities of Death buildings, etc) and scenary ( creaters, etc ).
Now I've purchased an airbrush to improve the quality of my work. If anyone has tips on painting fine details in figure models that are about 1 1/2 inches tall, I would welcome any suggestions.
