Reader Alamo36t sends in these tips for painting American Civil War figures in 10mm scale: This method is called Seven Step Dab, Dab, Dabadoo 2445 and it's copyright, so don't get any ideas. ![]() These runts paint up quite nicely. I did 24 in no more than 45 minutes.
![]() All this was done in no more than 45 minutes, promise. Remember get just enough paint on the brush so you really don't need to stroke ( because there isn't eough room to). You only need to dab carefully and the paint will flow just right for the mini. Oh! I forgot to mention the obvious - paint the base. Don't forget it like I always do until I'm flocking the guys. ![]() I do have a suggestion for all games using 10mm minis - use enough light so that you can really appriciate the figures. This is my main complaint at many wargames conventions - not enough light. Guys spend hours and hours painting minis and preparing terrain and when they run a game it's practically in the dark. Accepted wargamers are not the most handsome bunch, but hey, the minis need to be lighted to be appreciated. |
