Painting

plastic soldiers, first cleaning, spraying with primer and painting. A box of 45 plastic soldiers will take about 4/5 hours work. Napoleonic uniforms up to 8 hours!

Painting miniature soldiers has always been a hobby of me. When I started painting as a kid of 7 years old I was always fascinated by the end result. Models as well as figures where living things for me. I created a miniature world. Although it where always military items, there was no aggression in my miniature world. The tanks, the guns, the fighter planes made a safe world to live in for me.

At the age of ten, I created a miniature war landscape. On this landscape, I made trenches with barbed wire, muddy roads, destroyed houses, bomb craters. Lots of these where made with gypsum and painted afterwards.

I just finished it roughly when my oldest brother went to the movie “the battle of Waterloo” . That was the start of a live of painting.
