VJ is Vallejo and JS is Jo Sonja's. I also painted hair and drumsticks etc, but didn't take a note of what colours I used.
When finsihed I gave the bayonets and sword a strengthening coat of PVA glue.
After flocking I varnished with a Matt Varnish Spray from Jackson's Art Supplies here in Perth.
Here's some more photos of them (but I've put them down here as I don't feel they do the finished figures justice).

Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. Feedback always appreciated.
DeleteGreat guide :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really need to keep a record of what paints I use as I tend to come back to units years later and try and add more figures and then have trouble remembering what shades I used.
