I too am an advocate of your style of speed painting - very effective and I'm glad you have your latest batch of flags to present to them.<br />ChrisChris Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585623032053255569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-82326548126190399072016-05-31T17:41:54.764+01:002016-05-31T17:41:54.764+01:00Thank you chaps.

Then I used the dip method, and then a coat of anti-shine varnish. This was followed by highlighting all areas, including white coats and belts etc, as well as a little more attention on the faces. Very simple. I'm happy with overall effectiveness of the method anyway.<br />Cheers<br />Phil<br /> Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292975782666852353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-2403133966604184032016-05-31T13:44:26.307+01:002016-05-31T13:44:26.307+01:00And I'll second the request for a post on your...And I'll second the request for a post on your speed painting! :)Andy McMasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596439851302812316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-78734491734903476242016-05-31T13:43:46.917+01:002016-05-31T13:43:46.917+01:00Those look spot on, Phil.

It is always interesting to read about how others tackle the job of painting a bunch of figures.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.com
