Rotating Obesssions

My miniatures painting has been long dormant.  Shooting, woodworking, work, life in general hasn't left much time.  I tried to paint a little earlier this year, but it went nowhere.

I'm sure I will return to it in the near future.  Rotating obsessions.

Tamiya Flat Base + Future Fail

Update: Left powder on the minis, and left a satiny finish.  It worked once before, but I didn't document the ratio used.  Back to experimenting.
