PICKELHAUBE: Thanks for the info. I originally wanted to use drybrushing with Vallejo, but had doubts after reading the following article from an expert (keep in mind that I condensed the article). I'm reluctant to use the rare The Thing figure for a drybrushing experiment that could go awry, so it ...

Re: The Thing-repaint question

PICKLEHAUBE: Thanks for the reply. I already have the Vallejo paint and brushes, but because I have no paint skills and The Thing figure is rare and hard to find, I'm reluctant to use a brush because I might botch it up.

C44: Thanks for the link. I don't use Facebook, so what is the increased price for the Sherman?
