About

Welcome to my little niche in cyberspace known as darklined.com or the website formerly known as painted-miniatures.de.

This website serves as a gathering place for everything dealing with my favorite hobby – painting little miniatures.

A little bit about me – I have been an avid collector of fantasy and science-fiction miniatures for many years now. I focus mainly on 28-32mm and 6mm (read BattleTech) scale, but thanks to companies like Andrea with their Warlord range or Enigma Miniatures 54mm becomes more and more tempting. Painting these miniatures to a more or less high level became more and more important to me and since 2003 I try to push myself and paint every miniature to the best of my (current …) abilities – a very rewarding (but time consuming) undertaking.

Why the change from painted-miniatures.de to darklined.com? Well, at the end of 2007 I felt it was time for a change. I hadn’t found enough any time to update painted-miniatures.de and also a code overhaul of the backend would have been in order. To combat this I decided to move to a new url and change the backend engine and format of the page. With darklined.com I will try not to limit updates only to new miniatures, but instead try more of a blog style approach. Of course updates to the galleries will continue to be a huge part of this website, but I also want to have a platform where I can gather my thoughts about all things miniature in an uncomplicated way.

By the way, you can find some of my work on CoolMiniOrNot too. My current rank is:

The current design of darklined.com is based around elements from Satoshi.
