Hobby Errata
Just not satisfied
I spent another afternoon with these and in the end I’m just not happy with the result. Don’t get me wrong—it’s not the fault of the paints. They do their job. I just am not satisfied with the look. I think I’ll be better off just working on speed painting/cutting out some steps when I’m just trying to get color on a bunch of minis. That said, I also need to remember that this is hobby and the point for me isn’t to be productive but to have fun.
In truth, I have plenty of games to play that either are already fully painted up or that don’t have any minis. So why the rush? Of course, I’m also A) culling/consolidating my board game collection (because I have more games than I can ever really play) and B) shifting away from mini heavy board games to pure miniature games (Infinity, Relic Blade, etc.) so my frustration with not getting games to the table because they’re not painted is bound to decrease. (It finally sunk in over the weekend that a really effective way to check things off my “to paint” list is to sell them on/give them away).
So if anyone wants a full set of very slightly used Scale75 Instant Color paints and is willing to pay postage from the US, send me a message and I’ll get them in the mail to you. They do a perfectly fine job of getting things table ready. That’s just not my primary goal anymore.
Edit: I realize double posting pics across projects is probably bad form. In this instance it seems warranted, however.
