(I have also received a rear end beating with some of my best paintjobs! I share your pain lol)

So did I!
The LPL is a tough bastard this year, though....

I think that he is referring to the difficulty in repeating the same, very intricate at times, paint scheme over a whole unit of figures.
A real friend shall tell you not to do it as painting Nappies is terrifying, to me at least.

Post by: former user on April 21, 2014, 04:14:11 PM: yes, for me it is
