They have really revolutionized the way I paint. Fabric, flesh, metal... they're all a flat colour and a wash. It's so awesome, and it's so much more motivating to be able to whip off a squad of Guardsmen in two nights, especially compared to the "old days" of spending a week or more on five Marines.Malcolm Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038200135367480263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443902551161099820.post-87288486066128588132009-01-05T09:38:00.000-08:002009-01-05T09:38:00.000-08:00Awesome!I wish I could paint fast, I really do.
