Affiliations

  • I have a keen interest in building and painting miniatures, and have developed many creative skills involving colour theory and non-metallic metals. I've introduced friends to the hobby and trained and guided them how to create their own models, while overcoming their struggles such as keeping their hands steady or watering down their paint to the proper consistency. Most importantly making sure they are proud of their work and not to compare their accomplishments to others as it is a personal achievement. Through this i've development a Non-judgmental attitude when teaching others.
