Been watching a ton of YouTube videos about painting techniques, so I wanted to practice a few. Did a slap chop, base coat in army painter speedpaint 2 and did some layers on that. Very fun process, but I'm constantly noticing things that need improvement, "crap I missed a mould line" "that primer is still showing" "that eye could be a lot cleaner". At some point you have to shrug your shoulders and say "good enough, on to the next one!"

Great job! Something special about your first. What do you plan on doing next?
