Hi all,

Wanted to get back in wargaming Vietnam (I have 20mm Britannia Models) and I friend of mine said. I will join, but why not in 10mm. So here I am.
Still a little insecure if I can paint 10mm (never gone smaller than 15mm but mostly 28mm).

Info
Name: Jasper
City: Amsterdam (Netherlands)
Wargaming: Mostly historic and pulp

Welkom!

Hi Jasper, welcome to the Forum!

Hallo Jasper, welkom op het forum! Geen zorgen, 10mm is een mooie schaal en schildert snel als je er aan gewend bent.

Wotcha Jasper from just across the Channel in the southeast of England.

With regards to painting 10mm, there are loads of examples on the forum of how people paint there figures and if you are not sure, just ask, people will be more than happy to help.

Welcome Jass.

Vietnam, excellent choice 

Hello Jass,

I'm sure you'll be able to paint 10mm if you can paint 15mm.

Aside from Viet Nam, what do you play?

28mm or larger
SAGA (pagan rus and irish)
Dead man's hands (several gangs)
The Chicago Way (all gangs)
Muskets and tomahawks (American war of independance)
Strange Aeons (lovecraft horror)
Pulp Alley (pulp)
And I still have a lot of cygnar and mercenary models for warmachine

20mm
Vietnam

I had 28mm bolt action and 15mm flames of war but sold that again. I guess WWII is not my cup of tea.

Welcome to the forum Jass!

OK, I'll admit to not understanding a lot of that. It's not your explanation. It's my lack of knowledge.

Having said that I think a few people around here would like Pendraken to dabble in the pulp market.

Hi Jasper, welcome to the forum.

As others have said, plenty of people here both good at painting 10mm and happy to pass on advice.

Although I'm not one of the former I will say that if you are used to bigger figures you may want to use slightly lighter versions of the colours you normally use, the smaller surface areas make colours look darker.

Generally speaking, smaller figures are no more difficult to paint than bigger ones. A bit less detail, a layer or two less shading and highlighting and otherwise pretty much what you've always done.

Welcome (again.....I think  ), Jass

Cheers - Phil

Welcome Jasper.

10mm are relatively easy to paint,. Some of the guys here manage to paint more detail than I put on my 28mms, but there is no rel need to so that as you are going for mass effect.

Welcome and hello!
