Tasty stuff, well done John FoA |

Great stuff! I am painting up some Zvezda Russians at the moment (or at least I should be, but I am here instead). You gotta love that Russian green! Your Austrians are lovely as well, and the basing on both sets is topnotch! |

Great job with these kits! Makes me want to go out to the garage and dig out my Esci Austrians and Russians. |

Those look really nice – another request for a paintin guide, especially to see how you are going to paint the whitecoats. Looking good |

@Marc, my recipe for painting white is this: 1 – White Primer on models that are mostly white (such as austrians)
2 – White basecoat
3 – Vallejo Grey Wash
4 – Highlight with same white of basecoat
5 – Lining with the same vallejo grey wash. This lining technique consists of applying wash only in the recesses, to create further contrast with the highlighted areas. |

Sounds good – my attempts at white have not worked as well as this. Do you ever use any black, or just the grey wash, for lining in (ie belts)? Thanks |
| Mateus | 19 Nov 2014 3:22 a.m. PST |
Marc, you could use black in some very small areas, such as this one you mention, but overall, I avoid using black to do lining on white. The contrast is too strong, and therefore unrealistic. |
