@sundancer Sweet deal on the rebels. With all the SW:L you have I wouldn’t be surprised to find that you’re building wall shelves for your finished pieces.

@evilstu Epic inspiring me to do smaller scale? Hell to the no! This has put me off that for the foreseeable future. I’ve been playing around with monster figures that are relative to the heroic scale (mostly stuff from Reaper Bones for cost/weight) and found it much more rewarding to actually be able to see the details on the mini as opposed to going blind getting it on. Looking at the work done for Epic as painted for 28mm scale detail I was blown away and definitely set in the thinking that I am not going to any more after this. I did find that my friend had a couple ork Stompas in there and broke away for a two figures which helped my sanity.

As far as color I stayed with solid primary colors. From Reaper I used Cyan blue as well as Sunlight yellow. Out of the Vallejo range I used the Model color Carmine Red. I’ve got the Vallejo Air line as well and have been hitting things here and there with them. It all boils down to the basecoat and where I work from there. Speaking of that, I just looked at the Vallejo site and they apparently now do rattlecans through Squadron. This probably doesn’t do anything for Europe and Australia but I think they also have other distribution that could be looked up for you lot out there.

@blinky465 Good to see the gift you got out of that. When avernos put that together I think he missed me and I just threw caution to the wind on it. The unboxing video was the outcome.

I really have been impressed with the quality of RN Estudio’s sculpts. I remember when they first put up their crowdfunding and thought they were awesome. At the moment I am quite sad as they have great looking stuff and my wallet is anorexic.
