Nah, he was a separate piece, so no damage to him. Will I use him for something else? I'm not sure, it's pretty tiny to be used for an RT scale mini. If you want it just let me know....don't think I'l ever use it.<br /><br />Cheers man :) Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-18307096817362595292018-11-02T07:25:51.367-07:002018-11-02T07:25:51.367-07:00Great stuff!

Why would you be afraid to cut them up? I thought they were still available.

A friend suggested going over the divisions to separate the colours more (looked too much like an Italian tablecloth he said) so I used a black fineliner for the job.
