Paint to a level that you can and are comfortable with achieving. I have 0 golden daemons, Crystal brush awards etc. i do however have HUNDREDS of painted models. And that makes me happy. In the end, it you are happy, then you are happy

“Perfect is the enemy of done” just do it, put paint on the model. People have cellphones and post pictures which effectively are looking at your models through a magnifying glass. They are upset that their models are not as good as “studio” paint jobs.

of course the same guy use to say “all steve cares about is painting!” And various other caterwauling about the consequences of his life choices. Don’t be that guy.
This is just about personal bests. The most successful people do not chase the accomplishments of others but instead do their best.
