Hi and welcome to my e-shop DARK ROSE MINIATURES.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Patrik Ružič and this e-shop I run by myself. I am here for you 24/7. If you need my consultancy, just write me an email or Messenger message on Facebook.

Why I started my e-shop

When my son was 8 years old, he bought a plastic model of an airplane. He came and asked me if I could put it together with him. Last time I composed a model when I was  13 years old. It was a really long time ago. So I started searching the information, how to do it. Then I bought colours, glues and we assembled it. I was getting used to feel passionate about it again and we started making models together. After a year I found figures on some modeling forum. Immediately I was interested and in a few days and I started painting. Of course it was not my last figure. I felt in love with these figures.

The Raider Bust

I have met perfect figure painters – Lukáš Žaba and Marián Hodas. We became really good friends. Both of them helped me with their good advices.

During our conversations, we reached the conclusion that our market was missing some of the paints and brushes we wanted to paint with. And that was the reason why I opened my e-shop.

Little John bust

I am not and I will not be the perfect painter. I am not artistically endowed, but I am passionate about my figures. I adore fantasy and that is why I paint them.

Over time my son joined me as well. He got hooked on 3D printing miniatures and today he takes care of printing the 3D models at Dark Rose Miniatures. The 3D printed miniatures you will find in the Miniatures category are printed by him. So what once started with gluing a model airplane together, we now do together again.
