I only like taking pictures the day after I paint something. I use slow-dri because it I find it reduces brush strokes, gives me a smoother coat and keeps the paint workable on the palette.
However, it also means that the paint takes much longer to dry to matte. So, I've painted the helmets and battledress on the four, but won't have pictures until tomorrow. When I was painting the flesh and helmets I was thinking that four was too few miniatures for a batch. However, after painting the battledress I was glad I was only doing four. In a single session I was able to complete the stage. Shade basecoat, mid-layer and two highlights with the last highlight only on the sharp upward facing edges.
I found it really hard to not over do the final highlight, even if it meant leaving an entire limb without that last highlight.[/i]
