The trouble is that the build takes so much less time than the paint job.

As for Mojo, I found that building is as interesting as painting. Building make you love some models you want to paint. The main killer is the miniature that is a chore to paint, the unloved one, the one with some basic color but for some reason kill all motivation once you touch it with a brush. cedrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567465798644856588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-22586872990326961922016-08-01T21:40:09.379+01:002016-08-01T21:40:09.379+01:00Could I be the first to suggest "sticky backe...Could I be the first to suggest "sticky backed plastic" shield decals?SteveHolmes11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17392212343858957364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-4622098509184611442016-07-30T20:50:18.990+01:002016-07-30T20:50:18.990+01:00Thanks.
