Hello all. I've just updated my blog with my latest project, Heroics and Ros 6mm British. These were a joy to paint. As this is my first time painting 6mm I would welocme any tips. link |

Nice to see some infantry for a change. Its amazing how many 6mm guys paint up everything but the ground pounders! Great looing force. |

Cheers Extra Crispy I like painting the infantry. I won't lie and say it wasn't daunting at first but once in the swing of it, it went rather painlessly. |

Those look great, especially for a first effort at 6mm. Very effective basing, too. I don't think you need to change anything in your technique. One thing I tried recently on WW2 vehicles is to add a light dry-brush highlight of khaki along the edges and corners. It makes the shape of the vehicle a bit more visible. On a real military vehicle that would be a bad thing, but for a gaming model I like the effect. Aside from trying that if you feel like it, just keep doing what you're already doing! |

Thanks Patti's Magnus😀 I normally dry brush the edges of my 15mm kit but completely ignored it on the 6mm. I'm working on my t64s so will give it a go. |
