I, for one, would love a playthrough! Roguelikes are always great for this kind of thing.

I finally tried out my airbrush tonight! It was super fun to finally try out after spending a few months getting the pieces together. The air compressor makes a really pleasant sound (it's not like a LOUD tire air compressor sound, it's kinda like a very large, purring cat.)

Anyway this is a great way to paint things extremely quickly and badly! It barely took me 5 minutes to basecoat a light warjack. The poor thing looks terrible, and needs to be stripped/repainted pronto for further airbrush torment, but it's obvious that after some practice this will be a really quick way to get things table-ready.

Pro tips, airbrush usage:
- Nighttime is not the right time! Especially if you've just got a single, dim patio light for illumination
- If possible, avoid spraying downward into a shadowy box. Eye level, Beau Jevel!
- Vaporized cleaning alcohol fumes = free headache!
