This article seemed a perfect fit for here, because it showcases what an “average” hobbyist can do with a little research and elbow grease.  TPM is not a great painter (he even says so below), BUT he tries hard, follows tutorials, and in the end makes some really great looking stuff that anyone would be proud to […]
