Looks amazing! Would you share your experience?

[–] chetradley@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Been watching a ton of YouTube videos about painting techniques, so I wanted to practice a few. Did a slap chop, base coat in army painter speedpaint 2 and did some layers on that. Very fun process, but I'm constantly noticing things that need improvement, "crap I missed a mould line" "that primer is still showing" "that eye could be a lot cleaner". At some point you have to shrug your shoulders and say "good enough, on to the next one!"

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder! 😝

Great job! Something special about your first. What do you plan on doing next?

Probably another monster from our current session, but I'm working my way up to this guy: https://www.reapermini.com/miniatures/77627
