This does not suffer from that affliction, as it is equal parts intentional and awesome.

As far as the sculpt, I was also pretty rough with it recently and the GS is anchored on very well, in fact, when I tested the durability a couple of my GW bits came off and had to be redressed.<br /><br />That being said I am 60% of the way through painting the model and have had no adverse effects or experiences. <br /><br />I can tell you however, that very hard plastic toys, such as the plasma hatchers people use for mycetic spores will shed paintjobs in huge sheets from time to time, so not all toys are created equal.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-31184210000987202512013-10-21T11:33:30.483-04:002013-10-21T11:33:30.483-04:00Amazing work, TJ!

I did mess up the surface a bit with some Methyl Ethel Keytone, which gave my paint something more to grab, I think. I'd be more worried about the sculpted bits staying attached, unless they are pinned. But, both GS and Millupt are pretty sticky so unless we each drop our conversions to the floor, we should be fine.Green Stuff Industrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856233000846206112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-59003831706899995712013-10-21T09:56:57.279-04:002013-10-21T09:56:57.279-04:00Coming along nicely.
