@cyanight:
Everyone has their own unique way of painting the pieces. No matter how we paint the pieces they must still be playable within the game.
And the nice difference between game sculpts and real military equipment is that sculpts are rarely lost or damaged in combat. If that wasn’t the case, people might actually hesitate to risk sending their painted sculpts into battle on the game map, given the large amount of time they’ve spent on customizing them. :-)
