A question of scale...

Can’t help thinking it is the cost that puts people off 40mm. Now if someone brought out a range of plastic box sets. That would be a game changer!

Or maybe a range that could be contained on a STL file that would allow you to print off at any scale you desire from 6mm to 54 mm - it’s the future 😊

I too love to paint 40mm. They are so much easier.
Also, like you, if I was starting over I would do more 40mm.

I don't think 28 mm is easier to paint at all.  They are easier to get the base coat on the correct bit I suppose but after that highlighting, shading and details have to be done much more carefully.  Compare a 6 mm figure to a 40 mm.  The 6 mm suffices with a blob of pink for the face.  40 mm you need to paint in the eyes much more accurately than the blob on the 6 mm.  A strap on a 28 mm you get away with a single highlight on it, a strap on a 40 mm figure becomes yet another part to layer up.  Large expanses of flat cloth or skin become much harder to shade and highlight as the figure does less of the work for you.
