To repaint or not

[swralph]

Thanks to everyone for their comments.
I'm now leaning more toward repainting it.

Ralph you should paint it again,
the nature of the bust deserves it, Sandy Woodward deserves it, you deserve it, and we deserve it.

Ready, set, Dettol..... go

I bet by the time I spotted this and commented you only have the medal ribbons to do now anyway.

Well if you go ahead with the redo, throw in before and after pics when you post. It would be cool to see .

Normal mass produced figures we can use to see our progress, but a one off like this one should get the best possible work you can do on it Ralph, in my opinion that is.

Just my take on it.

Cheer's,
Jeff.

Completely agree with Jeff, that's also my opinion.

Thanks Jeff and Roger.

In my opinion its a problem. If the kit is one you buyed because you loved it very well you
should repaint them, or buy another one to paint it like today.
otherwise its a cabinet of your painting style comming forward.
I get the same problem, but thought my grey army is to big to repaint figures.

Thanks for your input Stephan.

How long are you running the poll for Ralph? I'm a bit concerned the NO's are one vote in front. Mind you and without getting political I'm sure it can be manipulated.

Hi Roger.
7 days.
But I think I will repaint it.

Hi Ralph. I vote NO.
I think there are too much great miniatures to redo one. IMO we buy and paint the miniatures most like, so always paint them with the skills we have at the moment. The first ones are worse painting than the last, obviously, but is a memory and testimony of our evolution.

I know I can do it more justice and that is why I'm thinking of re painting it.

I say strip & repaint - because you have taken photos of it, you can still do a "then & now" comparison. Cake & eat it!

Ralph, late coming in on this one although I might just be within the 7 day deadline. . Would be a neat idea to have a picture of the first painting placed behind the new version in the display cabinet.
Cheers Ken
