With undercoats, I try to maximise the detail by minimising the layers, so I try to have one colour, with some extras painted on, followed by a light wash. That seems to do the trick. I'm really impressed by your 2mm work though, particularly the basing!Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-37580021106200720452017-01-12T18:46:56.211+00:002017-01-12T18:46:56.211+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-91341465252070189492017-01-12T18:46:47.425+00:002017-01-12T18:46:47.425+00:00Good to see your methods here.

It's for photo op's and personal preference that really people get all fancy and detail oriented. <br /><br />(Wish I could paint stuff at my workplace...)Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-10163482246770176692017-01-12T16:22:13.396+00:002017-01-12T16:22:13.396+00:00Ed, this is a terrific post!

At first, I was intrigued that you went for a white undercoat, but I think that works brilliantly for the Austrians of the Seven Years War. Well done!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.com
