Wow, those were some great paint jobs by all that I saw at Saturday's game! I'm wondering if I can compete. I'm worried that Rob might be correct, that I'm using the ugliest possible olive drab there is (it's Vallejo's USA Olive Drab). It is pretty dark and well, drab, but I think it's got a very true military utilitarian look as well. I put quite a bit more work into it though, and it looks good on my desk. If I can transfer that to a photo it should be respectable.
Travis, so sorry about that Osprey. I wish I knew some trick to getting that glue off without ruining the paint. It really was/is a fantastic paintjob.
I did finish and seal my mini, and also got most of the base completed, although I haven't decided whether or not to actually attach the mini to the base, or just have it sitting on it for display.
I've also completed re-assembly, priming, and base coat on my other mini. This was the first time I've used Gesso for priming, and while I guess I might use spray primer again sometime, I think Gesso will be what I generally use from now on. Excellent coverage (of course, since I applied by brush), seems very strong, and also seems to really make a difference in how the base coat looks and how smooth it is.
