How do you see that small I gave up 6mm because i thought they were small but nice work though.
I have worse eyesight than a blind bat with a hangover, and cant see for peanuts either .. so I cheat, sort of.
Was cleaning out a warehouse area earlier in the year, and tossing some old stock from a chemist business that was merged with another franchise. All the off-branded material was headed to the dumpster.
In amongst the rubbish were a few boxes of fashion glasses, including reading glasses. We put some of them on as a sort of joke .. and couldnt see a thing. haha.
Gave me an idea, so I grabbed a pair and looked at some coins up close. It was a revelation …. I felt like one of the crew members from that terrible 1966 film Fantastic Voyage.
Shuffled around through the rest of the box, and scored myself a nice fashionable pair of +3.0 mag 'reading' glasses. Saved from the dumpster !
Try some out one day – its quite disorientating at first, but wonderful for painting once you get used to them. It makes painting 15mm figures feel like you are handling 28's.
… and it makes 3mm feel like painting (dare I say it) 6mm.
The best I could manage with a naked eye would be to splodge the whole base with khaki and hope for the best.
Which reminds me ….. I have access to a large powered microscope that I use for electronic repairs and checking soldering joints, its good for 50x true optical zoom. Might be interesting to try painting using that one day.
I am determined to get helmet decals and correct collar tabs on these damn figures, even if it kills me ! Just one figure correctly painted like that, and Ill be happy for life.
