Enjoyed the craic today. Thanks for the skin painting tips. I’ll be trying it this week when I start into trying to paint my Mythic Battles minis in a Thor Ragnarok style. #paintingwithgerard
Thanks for the positive feedback! Hopefully I will get some drones done up this week and post them up. Need to get my post set up for the hobby space forum also.
