I simply don't try them these days.<br /><br />I'm hoping to crank out a few "Star Wars" bounty hunters etc over the next few weeks, and Solo will be there too - its just a question of juggling painting projects :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-23892982030338841252018-06-01T10:48:58.773-07:002018-06-01T10:48:58.773-07:00Tartan is a pattern I'd hesitate to attempt al...Tartan is a pattern I'd hesitate to attempt also.

Good call mate.<br /><br />After seeing Solo last weekend (And being blown away by how flippin good it was!), I am tempted to set aside my current project and instead work on a nice load of the old West End Games figs I have had sat in my collection for a while.

There is though definitely something to be said for painting a single piece mini with lots of simple detail as opposed to the multi-piece “GW” plastics with too much detail, which I’ve recently been painting.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-7968043364372587342018-05-31T15:40:02.683-07:002018-05-31T15:40:02.683-07:00Nice, there seems to be a lot of people doing Imoe...Nice, there seems to be a lot of people doing Imoerial Assault at the minute, it's giving me a hankering to get mine out!myincublisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821486616924046474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-27065401820258220202018-05-31T15:14:58.690-07:002018-05-31T15:14:58.690-07:00re B&B, probably (it's an age thing) whil...re B&B, probably (it's an age thing) whilst I think the sculpts are great andyour painting, as always, beautiful, for the love of me I really don't see the point in it all.
