The need for new brushes is strong with this one...

o/

Ya know, painting almost full platoon of 15mm infantry for Gruntz, as well as a few partial repaints for X-Wing and ya kinda forget what fine detail is. However whilst base-coating Captain Gunnbjorn, I've realized rather quickly that my detail brushes are all shot and in need of immediate replacement! Despite their small size, those minis aren't too terribly detailed and unlike the Cap'n, they don't really have any nooks and crannies that ya have to get paint into.

There! That brush there, trash it pal!!

The fact that a lot of my paints are getting down to the state of gloppy-sludge at the bottom of the pot isn't helping. Eventually paint reaches the point of no-return, where no amount of thinning will ever suffice. Unfortunately, getting to the FLGS during business hours has been next to impossible here lately, so I guess I'll have to see what the craft stores here in town have to offer.

Oh well, at least he's got some paint on him...

That is some intense blue he has going on!

Trollkin are all blue skinned. Of course this is still in the base coating stage, a wash will dull it down some.
