   Raise the Colours is the online home of miniature painter Rhys Thomas.

   I specialise in painting small scale (6mm - 10mm) miniatures to the very highest standards: a service I offer to you the wargamer as a commission painter at the top end of what can be achieved with these scales. I accept commissions to paint these miniatures to the absolute finest standards. When you commission me to paint your figures you get the very best back.

   The number of war gamers using 6mm - 10mm scale miniatures has risen substantially in recent years. This rise can be attributed to the increasingly detailed standard of miniatures becomming available by manufacturers such as Adler and Baccus to name but a few. Substantial numbers of historical periods are covered; from the earliest of Biblical Wars to the mud and trenches of the Western Front. Yet above all these little men offer the chance for wargamers to build vast affordable armies that combine the visual appeal of massed ranks of men on the battlefield with more realistic ground scales that better reflect the movements of armies in the field.

   Besides including examples of my commission work this website will also be the focus for highlighting my own interests within the hobby - including being a record of various armies I have on the go. These will be featured within the galleries on the website and on my blog - wittily entitled 'Raise the Colours' - which I'd be delighted if you chose to follow.
