Cool Beans. MDF as a base and MDF as a figure, if only there was MDF paint.

Commission Figurines? How are finding them to paint?

[Steve J]

My painting regime is as follows:

- grey primer followed by black.
- drybrush everything dark brown, which helps show details and I've found, also helps the paint acrylic paint stick better.
- Block in uniform colours, normally a bit brighter than I would use on 10mm so they don't look too dull & dark when on the table.
- Add in details as required, such as webbing, back packs etc. The former is very impressionistic as once at arms length any 'error's disappear.
- Faces and hands are just dabs of colour, especially the latter on the front of the figure.

It took me a few bases worth of painting to adjust my normal technique, but once sorted the figures are very quick to paint, even at my glacial pace. Hope this helps?

Charles Grants scenarios alway provide interesting battles and 50 years and more years on they still provide stimulus for the Wargames community..
