RE: Sa'vasku - ground forces (look & feel)

Well, OK I've avoided the 'bug thread' for a while but HAVE to chime in
with this one. The other day I was spray coating minis in the yard
(Urethane Spray Satin then a coat of Testors dullcoat, BTW) when lo and
behold up pops a wasp from a nearby nest (scouting for satellite papier
mache factories no doubt). Well, to make a long story short, Satin spray
coat kills 'em and preserves 'em but mine fell into the dirt and was
ruined. Tho' I wasn't planning on using the little beggar for a
miniature unit, I did have some thought to incorporate him in a diorama
or terrain bit. Gawd but this thread is pretty morbid.
