Fix up, look sharp
Inspired by a recent session with one of my students, I wanted to write up a post on how I clean and assemble miniatures. This process is something I do for any piece I am painting for competition to ensure the cleanest possible finish. This process is heavily influenced by the process that Gupla builders…
