Painting Inspiration

Recently I have painted up some Falcon Miniatures 15mm Civil War figures. It's been a while since this many figures have been painted. While camping this week I was trying to figure out why I've been enjoying painting these figures. It dawned on me that it's their beefy size.  I suffer from essential tremors, which is your hands shake, especially when using them for tasks. In the last couple of years it has gotten worse, and there are days where trying to paint is impossible. 
These figures are easier to paint than the smaller more proportional 15mm figures. In the photo above is an example of a Falcon miniature, a Minifigs miniature, and a Tin Soldier miniature. I find the large figures are easier to paint, and little slips of the brush are easily touched up.
