Vladimir of Old Guard Painters writes: The Pre-StepBefore we would paint the miniatures, it is important that we know how they must look - the colour of the cloth, the weapons, and not to forget the beard! This is the pride of a Dwarf...if we would paint the beard in the wrong colour, there is a good chance that the Dwarf would not see any humour in that :-( therefore it is important to make a sketch of the Dwarves. ![]() On the sketch, we write which colours we intend to use. ![]() This is a very rough sketch (as you see, there is not many colours marked on it), but it is good to understand how the final figure would look! ![]() ![]() Step OneAs you see we are going to take it step by step, so you can see how it all works out. These figures do not require any clean-up before priming - they are fine as they are. ![]() In this step we have primed the Dwarves with a black matt primer. We use a primer which you can buy for painting metal surfaces (cars, bikes, etc.). It is a Ukrainian brand, but it is very good and strong. ![]() Then we have painted the the flesh on the Dwarves. We used Matte Flesh from Humbrol. The technique is that we paint the flesh first, and give it a careful wash after that. |
