Back at the beginning of this project I “reverted” a mini back to its original state(ish) after having removed hand for other conversions. The original sword was re-attached and a substitute hand with bow found as a replacement for the original.

At this point the mini was very nearly done. I’d not decided what colour the bow was to be, at this point I decided on a grey. I began by base coating with black and left it to dry for the next day…

When I returned I realised I’d fumbled! I’d watered my black down a little too much and been careless with my brush. I’d flicked black paint all over the front of the mini. Everywhere. I was kicking myself.

I contemplated trying to repaint over to correct, but very quickly decided I wasn’t done of that.

Into the paint strip pot with you!
