Pledge updae: I finished my entry for the PaintComp and predictably did some dwarves.

Has anyone else ever gone back to somewhere meaningful and been left confused about how it makes them feel?

I went back to look a house that I grew up in and on another occasion went to look at the first house we owned when our kids were very little.  Both times they were still there but seeing them again did not evoke the same emotions I have when I reminisce.  It wasn’t disappointing particularly but there is a disconnect between current experience and how things are remembered.  A time machine is the only way to go back and experience things as they were.  All the more reason to give our every day experiences our full attention.

Anyone had any success with markers?

Not tried those AK ones.  I did go through a phase of using very fine tipped permanent markers for adding lines and fine details but ultimately found brushes easier.  Perhaps it is just down to practice but I find fine brush control easier than the hard tip of a pen on a 3D surface.  I am looking forward to giving the Speedpaint markers a go when they come out.  I’ll probably wait until I can get the fleshtone one and then just buy individual ones needed for a single force and try painting a whole army.  Romans will probably be the easiest I think.
