The stuff...The painting's actually not too bad. The stuff I plan to keep - the vehicles, a few of the unpainted plastics, and the old metal Kasrkin Storm Troopers, i will paint/re-paint. The rest I plan to pass on/sell/trade away to someone else - ideally someone who loves playing with painted minis - but is way too slow at painting them and thus will thoroughly enjoy these. <br /><br />Because I am an idiot, I'm already repainting the Knight... <br /><br />Yesterday I was all like; "Okay, it's not a bad paint job, I could totally play with this - at least until I get both of the other knights I own assembled and painted and THEN I could repaint it to match their paint jobs... and when I do I'll just repaint the armour - because there's nothing wrong with the metal..." And then this morning I was, like: "Well maybe I'll just repaint this base - in the browns that I usually use - so it will blend a little better with all my existing stuff..." and I start in on some of that and the next thing you know It's all base-coated black and I'm dry brushing on metal... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-34728365077500789732019-07-16T16:37:08.444-07:002019-07-16T16:37:08.444-07:00Ha!

Looks like quite ...LOL<br />Well, if it was a bargain...<br />Looks like quite a haul. As you know, I've been getting into more sci-fi stuff, but I plan to do skirmish-level stuff such as Core Space, Operation Last Train or other similar rules sets. No big armies for me. That way I can paint a nice variety of minis at my usual slow pace without having to take decades to get enough done for a game. ha ha<br />(doesn't mean I don't buy stuff faster than I can paint - just like I buy books faster than I can read)Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-86865173991882790172019-07-15T21:55:03.193-07:002019-07-15T21:55:03.193-07:00The things us gamers gave to do eh Tim?
