So i finished the test miniature. It took me about 20 minutes to do , excluding drying times. I think it is a good table top standard. Definitely not for a painting competition. But can be used for one as a base or starting point. I tried this to see how quick I could get a new army painted by using mainly Contrast paints. In my summer holiday (two weeks of) I will try to paint as many as i can. Aim is to paint a complete squad of US Marines for Vietnam. Lets see how much I can manage in 2 weeks!

With all the hype about these paints, will someone be carrying them at Historicon this weekend? Your result on a historical figure is nice. |

This is basically turning the old "stain painting" technique in to a product line so you don't have to mix your own. |

Sure is, EC. Just ask for GW's Seifried Memorial Paint Line next time you're in the shop and watch them wince. |
