Wow those minis look familiar...or running into minis you have painted

[beowulfthehunter]

So I am at a tourney this past week and I am looking as a unit of my opponent\'s and thinking they look very familiar in thier painting stlye. Then it dawns on me I painted them! In all my years of selling minis on E-bay I have never run into figures I have painted and sold. It is just cool to know that the stuff I have sold over the years is getting some use.

So for those mini painters out there have you run into your own work over the course of a game or convention?

Ocassionally see stuff I sculpted for Armorcast on Ebay........also in White Dwarf!

So, does seeing your own stuff out and about like that mean that you\'ve \"made it\"?

Seriously though, it must be kind of cool to your work like that.

Also seriously: do any of you ever get asked to sign something you\'ve done?

For example: let\'s say you\'re at a competition or a con, someone recognizes you and happens to have something you\'ve done, do you get asked to sign it? Or even just a request for an autograph?

Bloody Hell - in that case I pity Epic sculptors - Imagine being asked to sign any of those!!!

Once I found some of my stuff at a garage sale.....I went right to Mom and told her to not sell them!:drunk:

Not personally....But the Manchester GW staff once had to eject someone from their store. Caught playing with the miniatures stolen from a GW staffer who worked in another local store.

we had the same thing when I was at Stoke and a customer turned up with a staff army from up the road..He tried to deny it but the army was complete with the named army books and 2 payslips ...doh....

I\'ve bumped into a few of my things and even had to disqualify a guy from getting best painted army at our conflict a few years ago as five of his units and 2 characters were painted by me.

It\'s good to see models getting the use that I don\'t have the time to commit but trying to pick up a prize is a little cheeky..
