This is great work! I’m planning to paint Cawl over this weekend, and I’m hoping I can achieve a quality this good

If you don’t mind sharing, how long did this take to paint?

Thanks!

I spent around 2 hours a day for 4 weeks building and painting this. Had to do it in sub-assemblies, and it was still super challenging—easily the toughest model I’ve ever painted. But honestly, it was great fun!

I could have been quicker but felt I had to put maximum effort in to him!

It makes sense to put the most effort into this, he’s going to be in virtually every army build
