Ahhh so that's how you do it! Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to try that next time.

Is there somewhere I can find info on how to paint? A book or anything? I want to learn about shading and things like that. Thanks again

Quick question about painting fuzz. Do you paint with one of those paint guns for broad areas and use a brush for small details like the eyes? I've tried painting a little recently and wonder how you avoid brush strokes. Thanks!
Get a bunch of cheap statues to practice on. Try using an airbrush, you can get fine detail by going in closer and touch up stuff with a brush when you need to.

Don't buy cheap brushes either. They leave more obvious strokes.

Congrats guys! I wonder how many EX Psylocke orders they've received so far? I don't see a low quantity alert yet.

Those newly update pictures looks great. Count me in on pre-ordering the EX as well.

comparing the scale representations on the Rogue and Psylocke product page, don't the two look completely out of scale? is Rogue really that short?
