This all makes me nostalgic.
I haven't tried painting minis in years, ever since I tried to do my old Mordenheim's Laboratory set at my father's house (which I doubt I'll ever see again, since he has since moved and we aren't currently on good terms). Between the fact that I was impatient and rather unskilled at the time, combined with how we had pets that would possibly have gotten into drying minis, has since prevented me from trying again (though the paints and primer cans continue to sit in the bottom of a desk drawer, as they have for years...that must be bad for someone's health).
