Hello,
Been a painter mostly for years, tried 10mm ages ago, now taking a stab at it again :)
Welcome to the forum, Bart, and back to 10mm. If the elementals you painted (other thread) are an example of your work look forward to seeing much more!
Yep. I have some warfs and ratmen/leage of ratsburg finished too. Well, finished, will need to see for a coat of varnish or quickshade etc
Welcome!
Welcome, Bart !
Cheers - Phil.
Moaning
And a hello from Belgium too ;)

I only paint. I live in the historical city of Ghent - Very nice spot for good ideas of medieval buildings, but a bit less to find anyone playing 10mm games. 28mm, yes, but nothing much else, maybe flames of war.
I'm probably going to come down to one of the shows this year and try to get a demo/game in somewhere tho.
I will post some more later on - I ordered some bases from the site and am waiting for those to arrive, as quickshading 10 dwarves 1 by 1 in your fingers.....meh.
Try popping them on those wooden coffee stirrers McDnalds use...

For quickshading? Yeah but the bases for some molds like the dwarfs with guns have 'rock' with a lot of little holes which I would like to do on the base itself too, so I can quickshade all figures in one go + the base and have a coherent effect. Or, well, that's the idea, if it messes up, then it gets plastered with some grass etc. :)
I don't need McDo, we have those stirrers in plastic at work :)
;D I should have said McDonalds, or wherever you can steal them from!

THAT glad to see me huh?
Ian often greets newcomers with 'Moaning'. :)
It comes from an old comedy TV programme, where there was a British agent (Officer Crabtree) during WWII, working in Belgium.
Officer Crabtree attempted to speak French....But was
hopeless. His greeting of "Good morning".....Would be pronounced "Good moaning."
Naturally, if you've never seen the programme "'Allo, 'Allo."...... You'd have no chance of understanding where that comes from !! ;)
Hope that clears that up for you, Bart !
Cheers - Phil
A belated welcome and "yes" in Japanese from me, too, Monsieur Garden. Visited Ghent awaaaaay back. Nice medieval architecture indeed. Being a non-Flemish speaker and not encountering many English speakers, I found it slightly tricky to decipher restaurant menus. But I eventually narrowed it down to chicken, chips and blonde beer! :-bd
Welcome from me too. Not painted much in the way of fantasy, but as you can tell from my nom de plume I do rather enjoy painting Belgians.

I'm pretty sure allo allo was in France Phil, not Belgium.
'oh god,it's the idiot who thinks he can speak french' ;D
Still, best moments were always:
'it is I, leclerc' when you could spot the bugger from a mile away :D
You're absolutely right, Peter....Don't know why I put Belgium down. :-[
Cheers - Cracking up of Wales ;D

Actually I have WW2 painted in all sorts of scales, 6mm Napoleonic, ACW in both 10mm and 15mm, etc.; I just like painting, got thousands, but never get around to a game :)

Nah Ghent is very tourist-y so a lot of menu's available in English. I tend to stay away from the city center during good weather days for that reason, total tourist overload. I live on the other side of town, nice and quiet, little park next to the window of the sleeping room + smallish castle/home to someone in the front :)

Welcome to the Forum,
I am about three quarters of the way through a 10mm ww2 Belgian army, and will be dry-brushing the Belgian tanks this afternoon.

I assure you that is the way it was in the 1990's. Some might have had English menus inside but outside was a different matter and we didn't want to sit inside and then get up and go again if the menu wasn't to our liking. Collectively, we've all travelled extensively in Europe and the world and and we still talk about it in the family but, good to know things have improved.

Cool, but I imagine all the small details like waffles, fries, and small cans of Stella must be a pain to paint

Oh, I just toss on real mayonnaise. Bonus, works in all scales.
Welcome, Bart. I can tell you're going to fit right in! (That may or may not be a compliment.)

I remember Rene telling Lt.Gruber that he was a real Nancy boy, thus proving he was French.
