Long time no read!
I know, I'm quiet lazy and not writing very often. To be honest, I think I never wrote anything after my introduction. Indeed I had only few time left for our marvellous hobby the last year for some reasons.
But it's a need to me to write some words as the last week was the best I had for a long time. To start at the beginning:
I went to Augsburg last monday, visiting Raffa and Big Kong Roman, knowing Captain Roberto and Peter were there already as well and Kurti was exspected to arrive the same day. Roman welcomed me warmly, so I felt home immediately. It was great seeing him, Peter and Robert again after a long time. Same with Raffa and Kurt, who returned by and by a few hours later.
I didn't take any painting materials with me, because I had no project to be finished and didn't want to start a new painting project. Instead I began sculpting a little miniature, which has some very different subject as usual miniatures have. There's already a hint to that subject hidden on one of Peters pictures... More about that hopefully soon. Most of the time I was just hanging around and watching the others painting and modelling, which was so inspiring to me! There's so much to learn watching other miniature painters, especially when they have such amazing skills as this jungle crew has.
Later that week Olli and Mati came as well. They made a perfect stay even better. It was the first time I met Olli and I'm still very impressed by his works, as he chooses very tiny miniatures with a lot of fine details. He does so well on those, something I would never be able to, and not only due to my clumsyness.
There are two very important persons left, who made this week so wonderful. Two persons, who were a counterpart to a crew of crude, smelly and insane miniature painters: Romans and Raffas girlfriends, Anna and Anky. Both were so caring about us all and along the way painted some really nice miniatures. I'm sure we all would have starved to death or died of all that unhealthy gases without them.
Finally I met Andrea at the Duke of Bavaria. He's the real italian stallion to me...
I want to thank you all for such a great week of fun and laughter! Hope to see you all again soon!!!

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die, where you invest your love, you invest your life... :)
It was such a great time, really :)
It was a lot of fun! Hope to see you again soon ;)
Same here, was great to see you again. What a week, ahhhhhhh, so great !
Uuuh, what slimy praises to the monkeyfamiliy! I already miss the six boys, sleeping till 12 a.m. in my livingroom, flooding my bathroom, drinking 7 litres of energy drinks a day and just jump around like the Duracell-Rabbit and having only two things in their heads: painting and eating! So I cooked several hours a day for a never well-fed crowd of monkeys... oh sorry! I mean men, of course!! ;) At the beginning of the marathon of painting I thought I have to move away, but after a few breaths near of Roberto's ship, I even painted a mini!! So boys (and Anci) after all it was a quite funny, but also strange week and I'm happy that you're all gone home right now!
God bless you my friends ;)

One of the best comments I´ve ever read ;) it was a hell of fun and would have never been possible without your support :D I think we simply would have starved to death if you would not have been there ;) Thank you for this and your patience with all this crazy people!
Thanks for the nice words about my stuff, Max.
And I can just sign the other things you said,
it was nice to meet you all. We have to make this again, I have already talked to my parents, if we can make it at my home (before Kumlbach, World Expo or GD.. lets see what time brings..) hehe :D
Also I am very happy for all the painting tips and the creative ideas :) And I will try oil painting, in the next days.
And a really big thanks goes to the girlfriends from Roman and Raffa.. so I have talked enough..
good night :)
