Introduction

[Mike L.]

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.....not really

Folks from my generation will get the joke.

I am semi-retired, and rediscovering the miniature world after a loooong hiatus.
I have started painting some (inexpensive) plastic minis from Wargames Factory, ie, their Greatcoat Troopers and Viking Bondi.  I hope to be able to add some better figures as time goes on, and hopefully as my painting skills improve.
I hope to be able to find someone locally to play SAGA (with the Bondi).  

No pics yet.  My work is so poor, especially compared to the master class minis I see posted here.

Anyone here in the Charlotte, NC (USA) area?

Well, you got here, so you gotta have taste. 

Folks from my generation will get the joke.

Not just your generation. 

Welcome. Looking forward to see some of those Greatcoats in the PA or Future board.

Hello Mike L.,

Welcome to LAF!

Determination is the first ingredient to greatness--or at least for me--daily improvement. Painting is fun if I make it so.
If not, I strip away the old and begin anew.

I would imagine metro-Charlotte would have scuds of players, hope so.

Best,

Sender

Thanks for the kind welcome, gentlemen.  I am learning as I go, mostly from youTube vids and such.  I have seen a few pics on the webs of minis that are about the same quality as mine....so I guess we're not all master painters. 
Main problem for me is ....faces/eyes.  If someone wanted to point me at a good tutorial on this board (or any other venue), it would be much appreciated.  Thanks, gracias, merci, danke, etc.
