Most of them do not seem to be better than I could do myself.Not saying that the elf horseman isn't great, or that other professional painters aren't really good....just that some of the "great" paintjobs out there are not as good as I could do.One example would be the crappy miniatures used for the Lord of the Rings movies. What a place to save money! They had great costumes and sets, and they had pretty good acting and directing...but apparently they bought their miniatures people at Goodwill...or whatever equivalent is available in New Zealand.All through the films...particularly at Isengard and at Osgiliath...I wanted to say to the miniatures painters: "Hey, let me have a brush. This is called 'dry brushing' and it works in colors other than gray! You should probably learn some basic techniques...and how to use colors other than gray. For instance...here is how to use brown and blue to enhance all that gray you have there...lets also try some green..."Mark
