**Do you have a website?** Sure, here it is: https://www.trovarion.com/ **Where are you from?** I am from Austria and I live in Vienna. Yes, my native language is German. **When did you start sculpting?** Started in 2007, but had a few year long breaks due to work. **When did you start painting?** Started drybrushing in 2002, painting some time after. Again, long breaks, up to 3 years in a row. **Have you won a Golden Demon?** I have been to 5 Games Days/Warhammer Fest shows in my life and and took home 14 Trophies (4 Gold, 6 Silver, 4 Bronze) for what it's worth. **What brushes do you use?** Raphael 8404 size 1 and 2 usually. **Who is your daddy and what does he do?** **What Material are you using?** I use Super Sculpey Firm because - even though it has its weaknesses - for my purpose it is the perfect material. If you wanted to just do sketches and don't necessarily aim for reproduction Monster Clay is fun, also NSP Chavant Clay is interesting, but they are expensive and you cant bake them. If you want to work in larger scales I recommend WED clay or just cheap earthen clay. Castilene clay is also an interesting wax based option, also not bakeable though, keep that in mind. Another Polymerclay that I can recommend and some people like due to the stiffness of the material is Beesputty - it also comes in various hardnesses, but like I said in general is more stiff. I also use Milliput Standard - which is an epoxy - for sharp edges and Weapons, try to stay away from Greenstuff, it has it'S period in the 70s-90's miniature sculpting, but it's finest hour is long gone due to better materials available now. There is various other epoxy resins but I don't have too much experience with those, because what I use just works. **What colors are you using?** Today I am mainly using scalecolor by sclae75 due to their matt finish. Vallejo Model colors are fine, P3 are fine, Reaper colors are fine too. Citadel by Games Workshop is fine as well, just switch them from the stupid, stupid pots into dropper bottles, so you don't have to buy new colors each year because they dried in.
