  • This video is a classic uncle Nightshift: Paints a figure on a level many wargamers with hundreds of figures under their belt won't archieve and is still telling everyone that it is not that good... Please never change XD

    • Agree 100%. His first try is probably one of the best figures I’ve ever seen and definitely far, far better than my best try.
