We all have that one miniature that either intimidated us or we put a mental block up towards. For me, it was the Green Knight for Warhammer Fantasy (The Old World) by Games Workshop. When I was younger, the Mike McVey's paint job on this classic miniature (it's over 30 years old now!) was so impressive, especially the swirly vines, that I just thought I could never do it. I have painted one or two over the years, but I've never done this model justice and I've kept off from painting those swirls, those darn swirls 😫 . But not now! Now is the time to paint this gorgeous miniature and paint it the best I can including those swirly vines. So here goes nothing...
Oh, and let us know in the comments which miniature you've found daunting.
Have an amazing weekend everyone.
Cheers
Dunc, Rog and the DRPA team!
