I’ll take your word for that. I’m currently enjoying the hot weather here. Afternoons are great model time in the AC work area.

Well, I somehow managed to view SteveSki's threads. Incredible painting! I've been spying on a few I really want to get. But even if i do end up getting them, I'll get cold feet in painting them. I really suck at it. :bag:

Naaaah, you know what they say, "It ain't gonna get done lookin at em." Go for it, it'll be fun, stretch the comfort level just a bit, I say.

Good to have you following along now, BlackSheep, thanks, man!

Hmm... maybe I'll start off on a cheap priced figure to begin with - something I don't care about if I mess up or not.

I really don't know the basics aside from black primer. Mainly flesh tones, shadows, etc... I may have to watch youtube videos or read how-to books.
