Well the thunk on the doormat has happened (easily as exciting as tiny feet) and here are my first thoughts:

- I now see the point of the Pendraken Terrorist thread with a heavy hand written Jiffy bag 
- first thought on opening was all a bit Michael Caine "pikemen sir, thousands of 'em"
- then it was 10mm is really rather tiny (gawd what have I done?)
- once the initial panic had subsided I have to say impressive level of detail on something so small - I can only assume Pendraken have either invented a shrink ray gun or are witches - either way well played gentlemen!

Now I can only hope that my painting skills will do them justice - gulp 

Don't worry Vam, I remember my first delivery of 10's; you soon get in the swing of it

I remember that first despatch email too (arrived two days after the floor breaking thud)!

I actually moved up to 10s from 6s so was not that daunted. I now find them the easiest of all scales to paint and 15s the most difficult - too much small detail.

Yes, indeed. Familiarity with 10s makes 15s seem large and cumbersome. It's all down to usage and practice.

You should try the jump to 54mm

You must be joking!   

I have stopped painting 28mm now, far too time consuming, so the idea of 54mm horrifies me.

Vamboozle - 10mm are great, l have been painting 6mm and 15mm for years and 10mm is the best of both worlds, give it just a couple of weeks and you will be wondering what you were ever concerned about.

The choice of scale was Peter Jackson's, not mine

I don't have a large enough paint-roller.

54mm - don't you need an industrial paint sprayer ?

When I was a kid I had loads of 54mm. They were called toys.
