League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Hi,
finally got round to taking some pics of recent work last night. Theres a few pics so I'll split them between 2 posts.

First off we have some very nice Early French infantry sculpted by Richard Ansell. This is the firsy 4 packs. Should have the command, HMG and mortar done next week.

They should be on show at Salute if you want a closer look.

Great looking mini's. You have really captured the feel of the clothing being worn put through the dirt. Now, I have to ask, how did you achieve this?

Cheers,

Darrell.

Hi,
I tend to use a lot if brown ink washes/glazes just now. The trick is to try and be untidy when you hi light it and miss out some patches that have been washed.

Also a wash of very watered down paint over some of the darker areas helps.

This does give you a shiny model so some good matt varnish is needed. I use Dullcoat spray.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that. I may give it a try on some American Infantry in Greatcoats. how do you find the technique on smaller areas?

I use Dullcoat spray.

I'm down to my last six so here's to hoping that they get the formula sorted out and we get the same results .

Hope this helps

Certainly does.

Cheers,

Hi,
thanks Barry. Alas this lot are display figures for BAM now and should be going to most of the wargames shows down south. Lucky buggers.
