Paint Appearance (How would that look?)

Postby IvenBach » January 17th, 2014, 7:25 pm

After getting some Mantic stuff and not knowing what to do with the sprues they came on and reading that it's best to hold onto them I found out a use for some. Recently got a Reaper triad of color and wanted to see the subtle differences in color. Viola, or as my friend would say Wualah! Paint up the sprues. This gave me a lot better idea how a color would look on a mini rather than just looking at it in the bottle. I have added a drop of color to the cap of each bottle lid already, which helps to identify what is what also.
