LOL; as if it was possible to spend more time basing figures!

;-)

Anyhow, don't they say in the films "Don't shoot until you can see the whites of their eyes!"?

Usually, when they say this in movies, this is that they re all going to die anyway. Dien Bien Phu, Isandlwana, Alamo.... That s the kind of stuff you say when you won t have enough ammunitions to fire twice.

BRB, I think just painting the whites of the eyes is the best thing to do. With dotting the eyes, you risk them looking a lot worse! From further away, you can only see the whites and then you know they have eyes but a black dot may push it over the edge and ruin it slightly, perhaps darkening them too much.

As a result of your blog, i've decided to just paint the whites as I think this looks best.

My Dad gave me a tip when I first started painting. He said for dotting eyes, you should use the tip of a pin or needle (sewing) as it gives you a really precise applicator. So you could do that if you wanted?

Hi Consul; one thing is certain, I'll be doing a lot of experimenting over the next week or so!
