This light ethereal faerie miniature is just beautiful. The wings have a great deep recess allow for great painting and dry brushing a different color. The Reaper Miniatures are usually great at holding paint, but sometimes they have some residue from the molding process so wash them with some warm water and soap. You really do not have to prime them.The details are so clear that you can layer paint on them and still see the details from the sculpture through. They dry brush SO WELL.
