I think the Little Big Man Studios decals are the bit that really makes them look good!<br />Best wishes,<br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759788396515762996.post-82250883525804144842021-04-20T00:41:26.045+01:002021-04-20T00:41:26.045+01:00Hello Peter,

I'm just amazed I managed to stick with it and not get distracted by painting something else!<br />Best wishes,<br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759788396515762996.post-26092177136564118232021-04-20T00:40:09.735+01:002021-04-20T00:40:09.735+01:00Hello Neil,

Sometimes I find putting plastic figures together a bit of a drag, but, my goodness, they really can look very good indeed once they are painted up.<br />Best wishes,<br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759788396515762996.post-30276176972604145642021-04-20T00:39:07.090+01:002021-04-20T00:39:07.090+01:00Hi Lawrence, Thank you for your kind compliment.

Thank you, I'm glad you like them. ...Hi Dean, <br />Thank you, I'm glad you like them. I imagine Minwax will have a similar effect to the brown washes. I'm liking the greater use of washes a lot. I have to touch things up a bit at the end, but probably no more than I usually would to hide my own mistakes with the brush! <br />Best wishes,<br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759788396515762996.post-86986366566893372662021-04-20T00:28:48.441+01:002021-04-20T00:28:48.441+01:00Hello Keith, My goodness life has been busy!

I see you painted a lot of details on the linothorax - and it really looks superb; as well as the rest of the figures. I did my Victrix Merc Hoplites lazily with only painting the edges of the shoulder straps different colors - leaving the rest of the armor white. I've been using Minwax stain a lot in recent projects. A good way to start, as I can always add washes and highlights to certain areas later.DeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759788396515762996.post-83262337872409200142021-04-06T11:36:13.269+01:002021-04-06T11:36:13.269+01:00I have been wondering where you had got tonJason a...I have been wondering where you had got tonJason and now I know!
