From ShawnD: Mantic Games Halfling Engineer (5 Points)

Halfling Engineer (Mantic Games)  

For the model, it was very difficult for me to paint.   Two reasons here; 1) the model when assembled has many cracks and crevices that cause me to make mistakes.  2)  I assembled this model from a Mantic kit and didn't know anything about glue accelerants.  If I were to build and paint is again, I would paint each piece separately and then assemble the model to see if that is a better way.   Too bad I already have scads of models built for this challenge.   You can see where the glue is a little sloppy.  

I did use a lighter primer code on this model to bring a little pop to the colors.  I really like the way the regular paint when on.  I'm going to paint with Speed Paint 2.0 for my next submission over a white primer to see how that works. 

This 28 MM model should be 5 points, that's what I am guessing.

I like to make up little stories for my figures when I paint them.  I just think of them while I paint, wondering if it's ok to share here.  If so I'll post if as a reply to this post

TeemuL: Yes, our second special guest today is Shawn, who usually is part of Wednesday group, but for reasons is today part of our Thor's Day group. And a halfling with machine gun is a nice addition to the Thor's day group. Very nice brush job and neat result for speed paints. And yes, we all love stories, bring them on!
