"This isn't a complicated paint job." Proceeds to paint the most bad-ass gargantuan red dragon on the planet.

not gonna bother doing anything too complex to the underside of the wings he said while proceeding to make the underside look fenomenal

Once you finally own an airbrush you start to realize how even an amateur (not saying you’re an amateur) can learn to make good looking models..and you will improve over time. It really is a good investment and a ton of fun too.

Cleaning them with brush cleaner regularly helps, but they will eventually split. Loose strays get trimmed off with clippers or a knife.

One wing is just more extended than the other, that’s the only difference. It doesn’t make the mini symmetrical, but sometimes that’s a good thing.

@@ANinjaSpartan oh no I own the miniature, the actual "fingers" of one wing are even longer. Which anatomically doesnt make much sense haha. Not to mention the way the arms bend to make the pose is a bit wonky aswell altho Ill let that one fly. but yea its not a super bad thing, but it does make the dragon look really weird from certain angles and certainly would upset anyone with OCD
