@ced1106 “Scraping mold lines and filling gaps is tedious and boring”

Ha! Much as I’m tempted by the idea of getting her to do all the dull stuff I think this is probably not the way to go…

I’ll see. I bought her the first issue of the new Age of Sigmar partwork, which comes with 8 or 10 ghosts and 3 stormcast guys. I knew she liked the nighthaunt sculpts and when we were in the shop and I saw the issue there it seemed like a good idea. Funnily enough though, what to me seemed like a good ‘next step’ for once she’s finished with the terminators and resistance models, to her they’re ‘too nice to have a go at’. Looks like that bad habit of mine has rubbed off on her too!

Hopefully we’ll get the time to do some painting together this weekend. She’s painted the face and hands of one of the models but isn’t sure what to do next. “Do you paint the eyes?” Looks like that’s the next tutorial!
