Random Sunday Shot: Reaper Juliette

I've always had perfect eyesight.

Then few weeks ago, when I was attempting to paint eyes on a 28mm mini, I realised that I couldn't see them clear enough to paint if I brought it close enough to see; and if I put it far enough for my eyes to focus, the mini's eyes are too small for me to see. I thought my painting days are over.

After some swallowing of pride, I went to an optometrist and had a pair of reading glasses made - when I put the glasses on, it was like I was given a new lease of painting life.

To celebrate that, I painted this Reaper mini this afternoon in just 2 hours and 20 minutes, including spray-varnishing.
