I confess I have those moments were I think I've done my best work ever, and then I see some more gifted painter's work and I say "right, I'll cut my hands off now". It's foolish and vain, and those moments never last. Back when my knees talked to me, my running club coach told me "always run your own race" and that was good advice then and still is now.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-15580089318810584832021-09-23T10:01:58.415-07:002021-09-23T10:01:58.415-07:00Why, thank you kindly, Phil, very kind.Why, thank you kindly, Phil, very kind.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-70182207743800868552021-09-23T10:01:43.708-07:002021-09-23T10:01:43.708-07:00Thanks so much Dai.

When I see eyes done in the work of the pro painters like Dallimore, with the squint lines at the sides, I always think, "Yeah, I can do that" but it never quite works out. Practice makes perfect, I guess.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-4402787599487145872021-09-23T09:59:48.298-07:002021-09-23T09:59:48.298-07:00Many thanks, Jonathan.

The photo added a lot, Stephen Wold was quite right about that, and by a happy accident, I had some terrain elevations left on the gaming table and forgot about them when I set up the light box. Fortunate, as the rear bases being higher ties into the hills in the photo and gives a nice illusion of forward movement.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-7140865639100253532021-09-20T20:08:30.285-07:002021-09-20T20:08:30.285-07:00My, my these are sooooo well painted.
