Hello everyone!

My name is Jaroslaw Grabowski, and you would know me from my youtube channel BuyPainted.  I'm an experienced modeller, and I've been painting scale models since I was 10, and painting Warhammer miniatures since the mid 90s. 

I always wanted to share what I know about building models, converting them and so on. In 2011 I launched the Buypainted channel. It wasn't a normal commission painting studio, because I spent twice the amount of time on each model by preparing a tutorial and showing the building and painting process. In fact the better name for this enterprise would be ?don't buy painted, just buy an airbrush and paint yourself like a pro?. This painting studio just allowed me to paint a lot of miniatures from the many different armies. I'd never have painted so many different miniatures without it. 

Sharing the knowledge makes me happy. It is the biggest reward for me reading comments like: 

?I followed your tutorial and got the great results? or ?I've bought an airbrush and started painting my models. I didn't think that I can get so great effect?

I'd like to make for you even better tutorials. While I'm painting the commission jobs I'm not able to show you a lot of useful techniques, modelling tricks and so on. I'd like to show you a lot of usefull stuff that will help you create great looking armies on great looking tables and terrain pieces. 

I need a support to be able to provide this. As such I created a website at wargamingzone.com where you can support me by subscribing. 

By subscribing you will also get:

Unlimited access to download all the movies released under the Buypainted brand. The movies are in HD quality and encoded as mp4, so you are able to watch them on your computer, tv set, Ipad etc.

You will get access to new exclusive content on the site. There are special tutorials covering advanced techniques very useful for the modellers, exclusive painting tutorials and guides to modelling tools and materials

Once a month I will announce a Tutorial on demand where all subscribers will vote and I will paint the miniature they'll choose. And the painted miniature will be given for free to one of the voters who wanted it. In Poland it is illegal to organize a lottery without a government permission, so ? there will be no draw, but I will give the model at random to one of the voters. 

But the most important benefit will be for you all ? there will be more and more interesting tutorials for the subscribers of the new wargamingzone.com website and Buypainted channel audience as well. I will still be releasing tutorials on youtube, but you will get more content on the subsribe site.

Thank you for all your support
