"No but, it won't stick me to the floor ?!!!"
At scale model shows, the most eye-catching pieces are the figurines, because the diversity is total and the originality is high, from pin-ups to historical models, from sci-fi to cartoons...
The figurine is considered the top of the range in model making, if it can still be classed as such...
A figurine is painted in the same spirit as a painting - an approach that other models don't enjoy, as they're the poor relations, and yet it's no less work to assemble a tank or a plane and paint it realistically...
You can admire beautifully executed pieces, whatever the technique, oil or acrylic...
This is also where you'll discover some of the "big heads" who look down their noses at you when you ask for a little advice.
There are different levels in figurines, and apart from those who chase cups and competitions, you can paint pieces with perfectly valid results...
