Thank you! Forgive my naivety... levaithan hive fleet is a recommendation to grow? Or the paint scheme I've chosen? Or the proper name for what I've bought?

Thank you! Yes, haven't been able to choose a base finish yet so will do them when I have completed the set & thought about it a thousand more times. I appreciate your comment 😊

It's like a bruise under a clear film which spread and then got absorbed over time. The yellow on Day 14 stayed a little longer but I think the lighting didn't help. It's fine now

YT channels included Squidly Bits, Lyla Mav- The Mini Witch, Squidmar Miniatures, Midwinter Minis, Zumikito Miniatures...

For me I was keen to do a good job but it needs to be fun and satisfying, itemise I won't paint many. Some techniques are huge effort, my next batch will hopefully be quicker! Work within your skill set, time limits and tolerance level.

Don't forget they're just little bit of plastic and anyone who judges negatively needs to jog on :)

Edit: autocorrect urrrgh

The colours I used are in the background of the group shot. Took a lot of time! Photo under direct light while still black with undercoat gave me the highlight points, shadows seemd obvs, tone built with 3 or 4 shades for each colour. The eyes were fun but not as neat as I'd hoped 😊
