Why delay when sculpts like these are out there:
Just need painting. Which reminds me, I need to finish Fordo and get busy with Mayday. I've just had so much going on here lately.

“Just need painting” as if that isn’t the hardest step

To be fair, sculpting is the hardest part. But painting is def not easy“Just need painting” as if that isn’t the hardest step
Sculpting is the easiest part when you use someone elses prints

Then that ain't sculpting! Sculpting still the hardest part. Paint 2nd hardest still though. To be fair though, once you do learn how to paint skin well it can become routine so worth learning. Which reminds me, I should prob buy an airbrush and try painting again sometime. Got a bunch of 3D prints in need of paint.Sculpting is the easiest part when you use someone elses prints
Exactly
I don’t have the patience for such things. And I’m too much of a perfectionist. If I’m not naturally good at something I tend to just not bother

Procrastination is my middle name so I know what you mean.Exactly

Having said that, that is how I felt about CAD design but then look at me now. Getting a whole library of 3D printable 1:6 models after forcing myself into self learning CAD after many years putting such learning off. If I can do it I think anyone can. So with that said, I may put off learning painting skills for a few more years, then finally learn how to paint correctly and start posting about if I can, anyone can. At that point full colour home resin printers will probably be affordable and my painting skills obsolete. As is tradition.
Getting tempted by this. I like the all blue rim on the helmet, it looks really cool.

Funny enough, I got my Imperial Commando yesterday, and I gave him the z6 too. He needs to look like a bad ass. I still have 2 other items im gonna dress him up with.
This is true, and flesh tones are some of the hardest things to paint. However I'd imagine that if one does not wish to do it oneself, most collectors here have the wherewithal to pay to have someone more experienced do it. I'm not commissioning others myself out of sheer cheapness.
*sees Echo and Fives* I cant wait to have these two!!! OMG!
Hardcase is a must
WAIT WAIT WAIT we're getting a plain white Commando?! Really?!

I didn’t notice the weathering on the mortar until these photos, that’s really cool.

He hasn't gone up for PO yet, still a WIP probably.

That image above seems to lack his mortar launcher so maybe not all accessories are shown. Could be that the head is not yet finalised
