My name is Michael Kontraros, I reside in my birthplace of Athens, Greece where I was born in 1980. I have acquired a bachelor’s degree in graphic design at the age of 22 and a Master’s degree in art and design/visual communications and interactive media at the age of 23. I have my own business and have been working as a freelance graphic designer for some time now. But what has really won me over is miniature sculpting.

Ever since I was a little boy I have been building models and doing some miniature sculpting and figure painting. I sculpted my first miniature at the age of 16 and have been sculpting ever since, although I do not paint figures any more. This hobby has become my passion and I have been doing it professionally for the past two years.

I have taken part in many competitions the last 2 years great success and have won a plethora of awards (with my friend Chris Panagiotou as the painter) such as:

- BEST OF SHOW _ SWISS WORLD EXPO (fantasy) “Deck of cards” display (August 2011)

- BEST OF SHOW  _ “IPMS Hellas”, Athens (October  2011)

- BEST OF FANTASY _ “Monte San Savino Show ” (November 2011)

- BEST OF SHOW  _ “Athens Starclub Show”, Athens (October 2012)

- BEST OF SHOW  _ “Montrouge Show”, Paris (April 2013)

- BEST OF SHOW (fantasy)  _ “MFCA Show ” (May 2013)

In many of the shows I have attended in the past two years, many people have been asking me if I would be willing to produce some of my figures, or if starting my own company was something I would consider. Others have shown great interest in painting some of my sculpts. Since there is such great interest in my work, I have decided to start a company of my own.

A company dedicated to producing and selling high quality figures for collectors, sculptors and painters, “Michael Kontraros Collectibles” will offer sculpts and figures in a variety of scales basely for fantasy enthusiasts.

First figure to be released is one of my favorites. "Elf Dragon Prince"

High Quality resin, 90 mm, 7 pieces.

This high quality resin product will be placed inside a metal box.

Here you can see the painted prototype.

Sculpted by Michael Kontraros

Painted by Chris Panagiotou

Figure shown inside box is the final product.

Your contribution is very important in order for the whole idea to be utilized and for the figure to be molded, copied, packaged and released. All of you that will order from this site will be given a discount from the original release price. This is my way of thanking all of you for supporting me in this effort.
