I thought it was a joke cos where it said carefully block in.  After seeing some Pro-Painted minis on Ebay I did wonder though too  :icon_w00t:

Just needs a black ink wash to fix it.  :icon_wink:

Don't worry it is a joke, although after seeing some of the 'workshops' on TMP, one begins to wonder...

I haven't painted anything for months... well finished anything (yes Dave, the sorceress still hasn't been base-coated) the last things I finished were my Wood Elves for the Frothers game at Salute 07...  :icon_redface:

Which mini is "Dave, the sorceress" and where can we get one? ;)

Could be all sorts of reasons in a fantasy setting, not just your regular transvestitism.  Spell backfired causing breasts or gender change, girdle of femininity, all sorts of things ;)

I have a metal hobby paint somewhere that you can polish as far as I can remember, got it 15+ years ago but that's about all I can remember about it.

Yeah my jester's either quite good or very bad... I tried to dabble in source lighting, ON A DEATH JESTER, wth most of my little painting experience being about a year ago... but it looks battle-field-good at any rate :D

Perv

Theres a few metallic paints that you rub to give effects.  They still make them and have probably extended their range now so if they were good they will be better now, in theory....I toyed with the idea of trying them but with my clumsy hands I thought they'd give me more grief than pleasure  :icon_scratch:

lol if you can do source lighting then you have a great understanding of painting, to even attempt it is a good sign of your skill mate.  Look forward to seeing the Jester Jolly Bob  :icon_wink:

Mr Hobby - is that the Japanese paint that is always recommended when you buy a Hasegawa 1/72 plastic kit?

It sounds very interesting to use, surprised no one has used b4.  Whats that 15 year old one like Wristy?  Solid?   :icon_w00t:
