I think that beginner sets might be a roundabout way to push the idea of color mixing instead of getting a consistent hue. Most times I’ve seen the Reaper box sets or the Army Painter paints its simple and in order to get more variety you’d need to throw it on a wet palette. Maybe this is a point that we as “established” hobbyists need to revisit? I think perhaps that’s why the Zorn palette, with blue, was such an interesting thing to touch on months ago. It might well be the difference between learning on a single figure versus doing batch. Lately I’ve seen that can make a difference and I’m questioning what I do again. Its a good thing for hobby reflection.

Heat, bah. Its been funny that my overweight and out of shape housemate that sits in his home office most of the time he’s working at home complained that the temperature, a mere (does math for C°) 20 was too low for him. I hope you all out there stay at least semi solid. None of us needs to be Odo from Deep Space Nine.
