I have been painting 6mm figures for some years now but recently I branched into ancients, in particular the 2nd Punic War. I've been plugging away with a Republican Roman Army and posting the results on my Blog and have had several requests from readers for a painting tutorial. Now I'm no expert but I was keen to dispel the myth that 6mm is impossibly difficult so I decided to write a step-by-step guide to how I paint in this scale. How to Paint 6mm Romans
If a ham-fisted clod like me can produce acceptable quality figures then anyone can. BigLee

Excellent, concise and clear.
Your steps are very similar to mine for 10mm. I hadn't considered a brown primer base, which looks like it works quite well. Out of curiosity, what do you mean by "waterproof ink pens" for the shield details? Are you referring to permanent markers (Sharpie, etc.), acyrlic paint pens, or something else? |

BigLee, nice easy to follow notes well done. For those in the UK Cult Pens : cultpens.com carry all sorts use the Artline and Copic multiliner pens.
Nice to see someone else using a sensible painting system, used the same basic system myself for the last 35 years lol
