Spice up your event program: Make your event stand out in terms of teaching quality and benefit from my experience. You – and mainly your event target group – can benefit from having me at your event. Alongside my large group seminar service I offer plenty of event optimized seminars and speeches about Miniature Painting, its philosophy, my expertise and experience in this field.
Feel free to contact me for details if you are interested in having me sharing my knowledge with the visitors of your event.

Consultation
Having worked, full time, in the miniature industry as a self-employed artist for two decades my insight can be helpful and you can contact me for easing your thoughts, answering questions and general consultation in the following subjects:
- How to improve your seminars and teaching quality
- Product development
- Concept art in miniature design
- Healthy social media success as a miniature artist
- About competition judging
- Setting up a painting competition
- Managing yourself as a full time artist
- Project support in general
It is best that these topics are discussed on a case by case situation to get the best for all parties involved.
I can not offer my time for free, but I am sure we will find case by case solutions.
Team Building
You own a company and want to make your team enjoy the beauty of color in a very special and unique way?
You want to do a miniature painting excursion with your colleagues and team members?
With individually developed creative training units your whole team will grow together and beyond!
Comission Work
As an Artist who lives by the work of his hands I am available for comission work.
My offer focuses on unique display miniature projects and dioramas only, painted with my special touch of atmospheric color choices.
I do not paint armies for wargaming. I receive quite the number of comission inquiries, but sadly time and energy does not allow to paint them all. Nevertheless I found a way to ensure my best quality by choosing which commission I accept. If the project calls me I will answer the call and bring you the best one-of-a-kind result. I allow myself to decline a comission just by its topic.
I did and still do comissions for private collectors, box-arts for companies and start-up-brands. My goal is to deliver the best and unique 'Roman Lappat experience' for my clients. Therefore I cannot name you any detailed charges as this depends on my client's personal wish and requirements. Contact me and we can discuss your idea in advance.
If you consider supporting me in my art, passion and work without comissioning a piece, please check my shop to see my original miniature art for sale. These are pieces I paint without a particular client's order, often sold quickly and enjoyed in private collection and in the meantime even in museums all over the world.
Article and Book Publishing
As a teacher for art and art history my true passion is teaching my students. Unfortunetely not everyone can travel to one of my hands-on seminars or a private coaching, neither can I be everywhere in the world. Therefore I decided to bring you high quality and didactic lessons in form of written tutorials. Feel invited to check back with my etsy shop where I offer a lot of my teaching knowledge in form of eBook Tutorials and artprints.
I released the following books - printed testimonials - with my partners:
2013: Massive Voodoo: Figure Art - An Artbook by Roman Lappat & Raffaele Picca
2021: Roman Lappat - Miniature Art Artbook Vol. 1 (published by Mr. Lee's Minis)
2024: The Art of Roman Lappat - published by Dave Taylor Miniatures
Contact me for collaberation ideas for your book and/or if you are in need of consultation
on everything considering a good miniature art artbook.
