I use the same method for 10mm as I do for 6. Prime grey and thin black wash to bring out detail. Block in colours then wash with W&N nut brown (again quite thin) and sometimes I add a highlight especially on anything that's meant to be white

I find a very diluted future wash works well on 10mm also

I agree with Paul in allowing the original base colours to dry properly

Kipt - thanks, a couple of years ago, those mini dioramas were highlighted in a military modelling magazine. Beautiful work.

Fenton are you adding your W&N ink to the Future wash? or are you putting the pure Future on first to seal it before washing with ink?

At the moment I have a mix of a third of each ...... Future, Water and W&N Peat Brown.

[Fenton]

I do both. For the future wash I only use W&N black ink. For some reason I cant  get the Nut brown to work properly in the future clear, its just too transparent so I normally just put the nut brown ink on diluted with water straight on to  the figure after painting . Its been a while since I tried the nut brown with the future wash so maybe worth another go

Like you in a coffee jar I mix equal parts water and future and about 3/4 of a bottle of black ink. Maybe I just need more brown to make that colour  work properly

[Norm]

Thanks, I find the brown alone a problem and reinforce it with a tad of darker ink. There must be a balance at some point, but I find with brown and future that the effect is either too weak, or I go too far the other way and get a muddy figure. The search goes on!

I read a couple of years back that a coat of satin varnish before applying magic wash helps to keep the wash in the creases. I also use peat brown in most of my magic wash mixes and using this method produces a nice subtle effect.

To avoid tedium couple of dry brush highlights. Come to think of it just do that. All good.

So perhaps the post was intended for another thread.
Could be a 'don't give the remote to grandpa' moment. And here was I thinking the premature aging thing only happened to others...

Anyone know how the Blaze Away 10mm ACW from Lancashire Games fits scale wise with the Pendraken range?

I'd love to know what the 'flopped' grid, behind the wee men is supposed to show.

It's a very good comparison, between ranges, though.

Cheers - Phil.

Thanks, I have seen that but forgot they had the Blaze Away.  Bit large.

I'd love to know what the 'flopped' grid, behind the wee men is supposed to show.

I think it's an imperial grid so the red line just above the figure's heads is a half-inch line?  That'd be 12.7mm so would work out about right looking at the various ranges there.
