Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct spot. But I was wondering how you guys deal with tight spaces on your models. I have recently been painting up my ork boyz (I'm very slow and never thought about how long it would take me to paint a horde army! haha). I just finished up 30 sluggas.... not too bad as their arms/weapons are farther from the body. But now I'm getting to my 2 mobs of shoota boys and holy H*** is this tough to do! I already assembled and primed the models with arms together. I'm having a lot of trouble keeping the gun color and the skin/cloth color separate since once you get in that area it's close.
So my question is what do you guys do?
Do you leave the arms off and attach them after you paint?
Do you just take your time and slowly go around the tight spots? Leaving some areas in their primer form (hoping nobody sees the bare spots)
Another tactic that I don't know?
Now I'm only going for table top quality, nothing overboard. But it does bother me to have some models look really sloppy, it's just what I notice. Also if you guys pick leaving the arms off, do you go to play with your buddies without any weapons on? My local gaming community isn't too strict on the topic, but just wondering. Thanks guys and hope to hear your answers
