A little trick for giving your (1/35) figs eyeballs, and even the WHITES of their eyes...I cut open a wire and pull a strand out that's thinner than a hair, then place a dot of black/brown, then a smaller dot of white using the tip of the tiny wire...VERY frustrating, my blood preassure is going up as I type thisAngry [:(!]

I've been painting figures since the late 1970's. This is very hard and I am not at all new at it! Big Smile [:D]

It's a part of the hobby you'll continue to learn forever. But it's one of the most rewarding when other people see your work and they tell you it looks real. A few people know what a particualr tank looks like, a most people know what a NASCAR racer looks like, but everyone knows what a human face looks like. Most of the stuff we work with is seen as toys by the general popupation, but when confronted with an excellently painted figure, they are wowed by the art.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
