Even more Perrys

I've managed to paint six more soldiers and now there are only twelve from the box to go plus a medium mortar with crew, a forward observer and a doctor from another brand to finish my little project for Bolt Action and Chain of Command.

 

I have painted this batch with a different method that took me half the time to finish panting the one before. I painted with diluted paint, then a coat of varnish with Betumen of Judea and finally some outlining with Betumem of Judea. In the picture below you can see the soldier on the left painted as I say  and onhis right a fellow with a stronger dipping and some ligths afterwards, and they are not very different from each other.


I need to practice a little bit more with the dipping, but although a bit dirty, they are well defined. Just have a look at the jacket of this sargeant.

  3. Yes Phil. You paint faster with diluted paints and then you skip giving lights, so it's twice faster :)

  4. Great technique. The quality of the finish looks as though you have spent much more time on them!

  5. I swear I haven't Alan and I'm really happy with this technique. Now I'm using it to paint a 15mm DBA army. Cheers
