Translucent models and how to use them?

[Flib Jib]

Hello guys and gals,

I’ve been collecting translucent models here and there and was wondering if anyone has had the same problem I’ve had. I have almost exclusively picked up a translucent model or worse,(better) a box set after I’ve already painted the model in its normal plastic form. I have grown to love my painted model because of the natural charm that grows when sinking hours into painting and playing using them. I like the idea of playing with translucent figures because they’re just so cool but I can’t seem to “retire” my old tried-and-true.

I know, first world problem, but I was wondering if there are any clever and creative ideas that others have found; something as simple as switching it up from time to time or something completely outside the box like grafting them into scenery or other models….

I would love to hear if you’ve seen or done anything clever to solve this pickle I’m in.

Thanks all!
