Ouch.... My hand is cramping from having to paint all the tiny details on the newest model, despite frequent enough breaks. I keep telling myself it's a labor of love and it'll all be worth it once it's finished...
However, the thought of ever painting another one of these models is out of the question. I can barely fathom the thought of someone being crazy enough to buy another one, let alone going through the effort of then painting it up as well.
Yes, cryptic, I know. Pics will be eventually forthcoming, I promise.
In the meantime, it's a tad frustrating to be following the painting guide to the letter, with the exact same paints, and having the base colors be nowhere near the pictures. Which can only lead me to believe that either the photos were doctored, or the painting instructions given were not the correct ones.
Or the guy who wrote the instructions was watching what the guy who was doing the painting was doing and writing it down.

You know the one you used for all those orcs ten minutes a go..oh wait that was someone else. So yeah once you've got some paint on your brush lick it a bit and then stick it on the model and just sort of swirl it around a bit."
