I know technically they are not gaming minis but I am interested in trying my hand at painting a 200mm Verlinden bust. Are there any tutorials out there on this subject? I tried goggle but the results were not helpful. TIA |

Depending on where you live there may be a local historical figure club/group nearby which can help you with that. I live in the Atlanta area and have joined the Atlanta Military Figure Society. They're a great bunch of people who can help with every aspect of preparing and painting a figure of that size. My guess is you'll end up painting it using oils because you will get the best results. Good luck and enjoy it. |

As 18th century suggests find a club near you.Large scale figures painters can use oil paints, acrylics, gouaches enamels and a mixture of various styles Each painter develops their own style based on personal preference and skill level. I have been doing t for many eras and the best word of advice is to paint for yourself to have fun. There will always be painters better than you so the only person you have to satisfy is you. Check out Wiki to start – some basic info plus contacts link Not Verlinden but a good basic intro link Verlinden has their own system which many use entirely or parts Buying a reference book or two will help you grasp some concepts early on. link Another on line guide link Lots of stuff on Youtube YouTube link |
