I wish Kaysee would post photos. I'm really starting to wonder what this figure looks like. 

Black out any naughty bits if needed.....

Are your intentions honorable?  If so, you should have no trouble with Mother Sprue.

SO enjoy.

Hi,

To be honest I often sometimes find building any figure can be a little weird, whether it has to do with wondering if the proportions look right (or need to be adjusted), or having to clean up awkwardly located attachment points, or dealing with weird choices the manufacturer made in breaking the figure up into smaller parts, some of it leaves me feeling a little off.

Specifically I still remember one of my first Tamiya kits that came with figures when I was much younger.  The way they "chopped off" the top of the heads of the figures in order to make it easier to fit a helmet on top, made me cringe a bit and left me kind of wondering if they were meant to be usable in other kits as some sort of evil lobotomozed zombie soldiers or something Ick!

Not if it's consensual! If I'm wrong, then at least you would commit only a scaled sin, say a 1/144, 1/72, or 1/48 sin.boB

Okay, okay if you're doing a large figure or body paint on a real living model I guess a large paint does make sense! 

I generally think of gaming stuff like 32mm up to 90mm figures so it slightly colours my perceptions.....

If it's a 1/12 or 1/6 scale figure, and you're limited to a 0000 brush, you might might find it takes rather a long time for the large areas.

But, might be just the ticket if painting individual scales or chain links or the like.

Your Mileage May Vary.

Well, using a tiny brush to paint a girlie figure sure beats using a 3" wide house painting brush! Stick out tongue

 

Yeah if you use a large brush or airbrush on a small figure you're probably going to use some language that the Big Guy isn't that happy with....

I'm not sure what a tiny brush has to do with it.  If you seek the truth, you can find it without our help Angel

 It's all in the head and where your heart is, scripture can tell you all about it. But there is nothing inherently wrong with paint, brushes and model figures.

Seems to me it's a matter for you and your conscience...so long as, to paraphrase Mrs. Campbell, you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses.... Cowboy
