Hi Ed,
Thanks for the kind words.
While I think the painted coins would work to be a very nice display, I don't think that is a project that I would attempt. And the reason for that would simply be a personal choice. The size of the half dollar would be OK, but then other coins would stess my tires old eyes.
I am working on my first true flat right now, and it is a fantasy project. It is about 100MM tall and that is a good size for me. Flats are also very afforable.
Also, I will probably never paint all the round figures in my gray army.
Thanks,
Chris Fontenot
