Some consolation for you, if that's the worst thing you have done to your thumbs/figures consider yourself fortunate. A true teachable moment, pictures or it didn't happen.  |

Done the primer for clear coat, based units only to discover I hadn't finished painting them, but my biggest sc--w up was painting an artillery battery and basing it, only to discover that I painted them in a completely wrong uniform. I painted them for a nation that was the enemy of the one the figures were suppose to represent. I now keep my reference material close at hand while painting. |
