I shouldn't think I'll be posting pictures of my painting efforts that often - I don't lay claim to any particular technical artistry, nor can I even say I am a quick painter. But as the first unit (or 2 or 3 units if used in MeG:Pacto) of the Chinese army I have meant to get around to starting for oooh only about 25 years or so now, these seem quite a significant milestone.
The combination of much-reduced social activity, plus the born-again enthusiasm of coming back to the the hobby after a number of years away, seem to have given me unexpected powers of actually getting started on new large projects :D
The style may not be to everybody's taste. But it works for me: not difficult to paint; and as long as my tired old eyes are happy with the effect when I don't squint at them too closely, I call it a success!
Anyway, hopefully there are many more units to come, and hopefully some will be a step up from the "hastily conscripted peasants with some sort of pointy stick" aesthetic. A pause on painting has been called for the moment though, as it is time to switch the table back to gaming use...
