Played a game, never once bothered me during nor after the game. Not even when reviewing the photos from the game. I'll paint the eyes on a beholder or a gibbering mouther, but on this guy I'm tempted to actually redo the eye with a simpler job with higher contrast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581720650017971599.post-44270935590163075192016-10-20T16:02:40.932+01:002016-10-20T16:02:40.932+01:00Almost... it's a 25mm wide (ferrous) metal was...Almost... it's a 25mm wide (ferrous) metal washer.

The 80/20 thing is truly a thing, a unit painted to this standard would look really well on the tabletop. It's funny about the eye, as you say the extra effort is hard to discern and if anything might be less effective than the simple yellow eyeball with a black pupil - there is surely a lesson in that for everyone!theottovonbismarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959484735230585523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581720650017971599.post-74114318342966226552016-10-18T18:39:27.840+01:002016-10-18T18:39:27.840+01:00This is very nice.
