Don't worry to much about making mistakes either. Each piece just represents another step in your growth as a painter. If you truly dislike something you have done, you can always strips it (Simple Green is your friend!) back down to the pewter or plastic. What size minis to start with is always an interesting discussion. I have talked to guys that routinely paint 54mm and larger pieces to incredible levels of detail and yet are amazed that anyone can paint something as small as our standard 28mm mini or smaller. 40mm is a good compromise choice although the variety is a bit more limited than either going smaller or larger.

I anticipate making mistakes at first and am planning my budget accordingly. I've decided to start with larger pieces (40 mm or so) before I try anything truly small.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681799401614263953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-17779027867429699352012-02-10T10:41:28.483-07:002012-02-10T10:41:28.483-07:00We would love to have you.
