sloow painting
Somehow I managed to start a load of projects but am stalled on all of them. Got some 28mm modern Us delta force with a view to using the ambush alley rules and day of the ranger, but then remembered how much I hate painting cammo (mainly 'cos I can't). So then moved on to some Duchy of Warsaw grenadiers and voltigeurs. Tried to have some economy of effort by finishing some 20mm french line for my son but again the numbers made it hard going. I think it was made worse by doing this following on from a box of Perry plastic Naps. on that subject I think that they are easier to put together than the victorix but with less poses available.

for a "newish" blog, you're going along just fine!
ReplyDeleteabout painting cammo ... there's a nice trick I used (and remember I'm palsied so my paint jobs are a tad less impressive than yours!).
First you paint a basic color ... like one shade of green ... then just dab spots on of the other colors ... and don't worry if one of the later spots overrides an earlier spot, it adds to the effect!
I painted a batch of airfix Robin Hood archers that way as "elves in elf cloaks" ... the problem was that the cammo worked! we were always missing an elf or two ...
