Multiple layers of bright colours are a different painting prospect for sure.<br /><br />Those two turned out nicely, but as yet you sound unconvinced. Surely you would be able to get a squad sized force finished though, right?cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-1764975235619838702017-10-27T19:38:23.468+01:002017-10-27T19:38:23.468+01:00Not just you!

I'm glad you commented on the Ork being "stacked with layered detail" – I find that with a lot of miniatures and I thought I was the only one who noticed it, let alone disliked it! It's when you have a lack of clean shapes and forms and just a succession of buckles and belts and sections of cloth and pouches.

Something about their very numerousness does not appeal.
