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
Heres one for the serious collector. Only $200.00 starting bid: http://cgi.ebay.com/D-D-Boxed-Set_W0QQi ... oryZ44114Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I wonder if that is one of those special edition gold plated ones.

Only $310 and "reserve not met", second time around;http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8800905877(Intriguingly different bidding list at the high end, btw!)Really sweet trick setting the reserve that high- otherwise might've gone for $200ish; but not so smart to keep forking out those eBay fees...
