Looks more like David Suchet to me. Nice painting, just a little disappointed that there was no Suggs or Chas Smash though. :)

I think it depends on the mins, I did similar things on my WWII and Wild West mins. I'm not sure if this would work on anime-like miniatures.

It's kind of what the impressionists did, when you are half an meter away from the mini the impact will be even more overwhelming.

Post by: MajorTalon on 30 June 2013, 05:54:26 AM: Yes. The title caught my hipster eye.

Yes. I was also overjoyed when I saw the opening lyrics.

And yes. I enjoyed seeing the video posted.

I was however, slightly dissappointed that there were no minis with bush shirts, shorts, wearing fez's. lol
