I refuse to use any model in my army that I've not painted and based to a personal standard. I just think armies look so much better when they're all painted and based properly.

I wish everyone had this viewpoint.

Instead of doing decorative basing I decided to paint my friends' names, or phrases chosen by them on the bases. Once in a while I get called lazy even though it takes time to ask people what they want me to paint on a base and more time for them to actually decide what they want. I think it's neat and it keeps my friends entertained., but you can't please some people I guess.

"I drive a big car, cuz I'm a big star. I'll make a big rock-and-roll hit." "I am a big car, and I'm a strip bar. Some call it fake, I call it good-as-it-gets."

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
