Can we asssume that he was single for his entire life?
The scale is epic!
And hats off to him for prepping and painting that many AIrfix minis without going insane. Those figures are soft bendy plastic and paint often flakes off of the rifle barrels and swords when they bend.
The secret to painting a really big army is to keep at it. You can't reach your destination if you never take any steps.
I'd sincerely like to shake that mans hand - he does our ancestors proud
I've got to agree though, he must have gone insane doing that. I mean, I've painted 1/72 Airfix figures before and as JB says they are insanely hard to keep paint on (Although admittedly I wasn't using a primer then - I was only 10 or so at the time) - how the hell he managed it for 25,000 of them is beyond me.
