Did this in about an hour. I didn't care at all about how it came out because it was meant to be purely a test model for future skeleton paint schemes. Didn't even bother to properly clean it when building and I really didn't even finish painting it because I was really only concerned with the bone and bronze.. I didn't learn a whole lot about a scheme I want, but I did learn some important things.
>Going into painting with the mindset of not caring about the outcome will make it come out like shit
>Painting a model you don't like or have any passion for will make you care less and make it worse
>Even going in with the express purpose of testing a scheme doesn't work well if you don't like the model you're painting
So with that now in my mind, how do you develop a paint scheme without "wasting" a model you actually like? I've experimented with models in the past, but at that point every one of them pretty much came out different and it only really worked because they were skinks. Obviously I could give the model an iso bath, but I'd hate to do that to something I put actual time and effort into even if it's not a paint scheme I want to follow through with.
