Reply To: Are older miniatures better ?

Well, by paint I mean apply paint to a model without any.  Less detail is simply easier to paint than something like Forgeworld with lots of tiny details.  That doesn’t change just because I am not five and have a degree of competence; you can’t just slap a coat of contrast on and expect it to look good.  Overly busy, highly and intricately detailed models are harder to paint because mistakes show up much more.  An older model with less details allows you the option to freehand stuff if you like, but if not you can stick to a simpler paint job and the miniature is more forgiving.
