Use a very fine brush and enamel is very useful for figures, at least for me. Oooo one more thing, steady hand!!!

for your first figures i give you a gold,there great very well done,

keep up the good work,

i keep about 3 or 4 good brushes just for face painting ,once a few hairs go astray there sacked,

They're very good Dave, even more so if you used Tamiya acrylics to brush paint them!

I'd give them a wash just to add a little depth.

I used Vallejo acrylics and some artist stuff I have they are just blue tacked to the Tamiya pots for painting. When you say a wash what do you mean is it a very watery dirty colour?

Thanks Monica I normally leave them out of models as I'm a bit scared of doing them.

Perfect figures!

Yes, for a wash you must add a very thinned colour coat, better if it's darker than the one you have there

 

[Guest]

Wow, those figures are awesomeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

 

[Guest]

Looking very good.

First I've heard about the salt chipping method. Another method to go read up about, thanks. Loving the little jeep, hows it coming along?
