About


My name is Michał "ARBAL" Walczak. I am a miniatures painter and author of the blog "Coloured Dust". When I do not paint or write I lead a regular life, working in the IT industry and raising my two daughters. My adventure with painting began in 1995 with miniatures and the game of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. With time I put aside the game part and focused on painting only. Also the size of my favorite figures changed and now I very much enjoy challenging myself with larger scale models too. From 2011 I share my passion and experience with others through a blog entitled  "Coloured Dust”. All this has been continuously my hobby and hobby only.
