Years ago, when I painted up my first Gallic army, I showed it off to my family. My daughter saw the nude skirmishers and said "you're not taking THAT out in public, are you?" I did and no-one has ever said an unkind word. The shadowing and scale hide the more private parts. <br /><br />On my bucket list...painting up 28mm nude Gauls one day, not for anything other than the challenge of properly painting all flesh. THAT would be very difficult and I've seen some amazing work over the years.
