Thank you Oda and Kev.
I'm planning on pushing myself on this one, by going big on the highlighting and shadow work, working on my brush technique, rather than relying on washes and drybrushing. I'm also consciously aware, that I have become rather "spoiled"; being in the fortunate position to have a dedicated room in my flat. It is good to get back to basics once in a while. I like to do a similar thing with armour building, it's all big fun to build an all singing and dancing model with photoetch, metal barrel, individual track links and the latest mold technology and 800+parts, but I love building older (some are 40+years old) Tamiya kits in a few evenings, pretty much out of the box, and using paint and weathering techniques to make them look good.
