Figure & Bust painting is a skill that I have ignored, until now. I've had a go at most other modelling genres. Earlier this year I was asked to build a Sci-Fi model for a friend's son, that being one of the genres I'd never been interested in. That got me thinking about things I'd never tried before. I'd done 54mm ( Historex ) figures before, but nothing larger scale. There's a fair amount of crossover, but each has it's own particular skills. I've got a couple of figures in the stash that I'm not going to attempt, until I'm happy I can do them justice
