Great work Mike and I know exactly what Andy means about some miniatures almost painting themselves, certainly seemed that way with the cannibals that I did.

I had already decided the colour scheme before I started and repeated colours where possible (e.g. trousers and gun stock).

There are some you can just blitz, because you know the colours will work and what you have to paint is simple and "obvious" (apologies, I can't think of a better word). These models are rare, especially when you're choosy about what you paint. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102290238629069459noreply@blogger.com
