One would expect that as an experienced painter of models and miniatures, I would find athe odd lounge room, kitchen or bedroom a snap to paint.
Sadly, its not true. ?
After 2 days of pain preparing my new house, I put my mind as to thinking why this is so:

I know...what was I thinking?
I guess 1:1 is the new scale now. I cant afford somebody to paint my miniatures for me, never mind whole rooms!

I've noticed that it's not the actual painting that takes all that long; it's the prep work that does. I can knock out one coat of paint for a 15' x 15' room in a couple of hours, but it takes forever to tape around doors and windows, remove switchplate covers, spackle the walls where needed, etc, etc. And never mind if I have paint windows. They take forever.

The trick is not to think of it as a table... but a huge, 6mm ice world, covered with a single glacier...

True D/S, but then again some Minis needs lots of prep work too. Especially those big mutli-part jobs.
