I'm terrible at basing my models
1,194In finishing these Gloomspite Gitz Squig Herd models (and earning £10 from the Hobby Bingo!) I learned a few things about the hobby. Mostly, these are things that I thought I knew, but actually was wrong about.
The first thing is that I should probably do more sub-assemblies, or at least learn to better handle my brushes so that when I have to paint somewhere tricky I'm not just making a complete mess.
This is exacerbated by the contrast paints indirectly, because the lighter undercoats used show up very easily when missed. Also, they don't seem to apply as nicely. This is probably user error.
Finally, basing - something I've never been good at, was made a lot easier with, you know, actually using basing materials.
