While getting ready to do the genestealer tutorial, I decided to pull out an old vanguard mini that I had planned to be part of Dante's honor guard. Back when I first started this guy I did not bother with cleaning the flash or mold lines, so it has been a bear to work with. However, I had so much fun playing with anyas' blending technique that I ended up with something that I liked.....and then mitheral silver happened. I must have had a dab of it on my finger, because I just covered this guy in silver fingerprints. I tried to salvage the mini by scrubbing the silver off with a wet brush, which worked to some degree. Now my painting stride is broken, and I must go be zen for a while doing something else.
