Hello everyone 
My name is Matthias, I'm 33 years old, I'm from Italy, and I've just recently picked up this painting hobby again.
The first time I painted a model was way back in the early 00s, when me and my best friend decided to get into Warhammer Fantasy. I decided to start a Vampire Counts army, while he opted to get some Lizardmen. I started by buying a couple boxes of zombies and skeletons, he instead spent almost all his first paycheck on a full scaly army: he bought a huge deal of minis, from Saurus Warriors and Skinks to Temple Guards and Cold One Riders, and even a Stegadon and a Slann Mage Priest.
We went back to his home with our new models, but after jus one hour of assembling those new toys he realized that he wasn't really cut for that kind of hobby. Nonetheless he finished putting together the army, sprayed some of those minis with primer, and painted one or two of them, then put them in a Figure Case (he bought that too), and left them in the back of our friendly local games store for more than a decade. On the other hand I was still pretty hooked up with the modeling, but had to stop after painting the few models I got because of some issues I had back in those days.
When that FLGS went out of business the guy who was running it gave me all those minis, since my friend wasn't interested in them anymore and he needed to get rid of them one way or another. So I took that case and all the boxes with the leftover pieces and sprues back to my home, where they were forgotten once again inside a messy wardrobe for almost another ten years.
Earlier this year I was cleaning up that messy wardrobe, and obviously got my hands on those Lizardmen once again (my Vampire Counts models have been lost to the ages, sadly), and thought that now that I can afford buying paints and other supplies I could as well get back into modeling, and for good this time. So I went down the road to the (new) FLGS, bought a huge deal of colors and brushes and other useful stuff, and now I'm once again caught into this beautiful hobby.
I came by this forum in search of inspiration on how to paint my big inherited collection of Lizardmen (and Seraphons, I bought some of them too), and I hope to find new people to share my passion with.
That said I hope to get along with you all, and I wish you to have a nice day
PS: I link one of my latest work, just to give you an idea of my painting level; hope it's alright
