Name: Josua Lai
Job: CNC-Mechanic - This means I am usually creating machine or robotic parts out of a 3d file on a milling machine.
Years of Painting: 2005 till now
Media: mostly Acrylics, inks but i am a guy who tries to paint with almost everything so : oil, pastel, enamel etc
Brushes: Winsor&Newton Series 7 (standard, not miniature), size 0, 1, 2 and 3 as main brushes but i threw away a brush only if he has no bristles left (even then you can still use it to stirring color or resin) so I have a good amount of old and crazy shaped brushes.

Gallerys of my miniature works:
My Name is Josua and i am living in the most beautiful city in Switzerland named Bern.
I started to paint back in 2005 when I got a big Lord of the Rings miniature set as a Christmas gift.
Since then i never really stopped painting. I first painted all by my self, for almost two years without knowing there is a big community out there. All I had was my Games-Workshop painting compendium and a lot of time to practice. I started to explore the community as soon as I found out that there are more than just GW miniatures out there. It was not long and I found Massive Voodoo and was a reader since then. In the last two years I really started to understand some things painting wise and tried to focus on different things to learn.

| The Alchemist one of my biggest projects till now |
Beside the miniature world i really like taking photos with my dslr. I love hiking
and outdoor activities. I am a scout leader since about 10 years now. Nature itself is for me the biggest inspiration source and also the point where i can find some enjoying moments in silence.
If you ever brewed our morning coffee over a bonfire during sunrise you know exactly what I am talking about.

My goal for the future is to create more things that inspire
people, more things that tell a story, things that even are able to transport
emotions and feelings. I have some crazy projects planned and I will let you be
part of as much as possible.
