This was a birthday present for a good friend of mine. (Sorry for the lighting of the pictures, I really nead to get an extra lamp for a more difused light sorce)
Thanks airhead for you comment (this is my first mini to get one :)). Your comment is quite true. I think it comes from the excess varnish coat and too harsh lighting. For the varnish coat, I play with my minis so I tend to be overprotectif of the paint job; but promiss, I'll try to have a lighter hand on my next minis for CMON ;).
