| Tuise Crom, the last samourai (of his village) |
As ever weak, I've decided to dive in the popular practice of speed painting... You can see many examples from the Oldhammer community HERE and I have to say that it really terrified me to think I could only have one hour to paint a model even without basing it... (the fact my friend Crooks did it the very same day motivated me to have a go myself though).
Hearing most people had learnt something in the process, I decided I wasn't worse than anyone and could try it myself. Trying to think out of the box and painting out of the comfort zone is always a good way to progress.
The plan I set during the minutes before the attempt were those :
- I took out all the paints I would be using and placed them in groups for each part
- I plugged the hairdryer in the bathroom in case I'd need to speed drying times for washes or anything
- I went to the toilets before (you do not want to urinate yourself just because you're almost done with your last details
and then at 19:59 I took the photo of the primed model and started when the 20:00 signal appeared...
