Spazzmolytic Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I've been after this mini for about 6 years now & while I've found cheep knockoffs I stayed clear. For some unknown reason I decided to have a look around about 2 months ago and I found this place called Klukva miniatures! Very sceptical at first but people I asked about it said he's/they are legit so I said "sure why not" and ordered the fig. A long 6 weeks for him to travel across the Atlantic from Russia to Canada but he finally made it. Got say I'm fairly intimidated with this figure, I want to do it justice and paint it to the best of my ability but will be trying out some new effects (on a test figure first). In a lot of ways I'm glad its taken me 6 years to hold him in my hands as my painting skills have increased 10 fold since I got back into mini painting but think I should probably order another one and sit on it for a few more years and try it again. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcstaar Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Great mini! If I recall correctly, one of the forumites @ub3r_n3rd has done this mini and posted in Show Off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogaDanar Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 That is a great figure. It will be a lot of fun to paint. I understand how you feel intimidated because of the paint job you want to accomplish, but I wouldn't let that stop you. I've seen a few of your figures and you are a good painter. In my personal experience, I am always trying to paint better than the last one. Sometimes I succeed. Unfortunately, that means when I look at figures I painted in the past, I am always seeing what I could have done better. I try not to let those special figures intimidate me because I know that painting it to the best of my ability (at the time) will make a better painter. Can't wait to see your final product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I know that feeling well!! I have stripped figures a few years later & repainted them. This is a faux pas among some folks but it doesn't bother me, I always take a few photos to remind me of what was.
