				<title>If you change your painting method midway through?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Ellu, I am currently painting some Iron warrios and have now after painting half- a squad changed the way I paint for the better. Was just wondering about any suggestions on what to do wqith the onces already painted. Small question perhaps but it bugs me a bit that they will be different looking to the rest of my iron warriors. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Strip and re-do is one option.  It ensures everyone is uniform.  Lot of work depending on volume, and time that could be spent on new stuff.<br /> <br /> Depending what changed, some touch up passes might be all you need.  I did this for some old guys when I added new members to the squad.  Didn’t even own the old colors of pain any more, so I couldn’t match the new ones to the old.  Not perfect, but at table-top distance, not noticeable .<br /> <br /> Just remember, the guys with the ugly paint jobs are the squad’s first casualties.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Assuming you have more models/squads to paint, I pretty much always recommend moving on to unpainted models rather than trying to re-do or upgrade previous minis.  Firstly, a group of painted minis always looks better than a mix of painted and unpainted, even if some of them are of differing levels of skill or have somewhat different color composition.<br /> <br /> Also, you're likely to continue to improve or try new methods as you go. So giving in to the impulse to re-do all you previous work can become Sisyphean.<br /> <br /> Much like writing a paper/book, most people will be more successful if they push straight through an entire draft before they go back and rewrite/edit large swaths of the work.]]></description>
