OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Very nice.i like your style of work. Good blog as well. I'd like to try your oil wash method. It gives nice results.

Excellent work!
What colors are you using for your buff coats and hats? I'm not satisfied with how mine have turned out at all.

I use Foundry Buff Leather (7) A,B,C. This goes onto my brown undercoat (see method explained on blog for undercoating) and the brown acts as a perfect shade.
On some buff coats/hats I give a final touch of Vallejo Light Sand to the edges to give a bit of variety.
It is because the brown gives a perfect shade for lots of colours and the right finished effect (for the look
I'm after) that I undercoat the way I do. Just my personal preference for this period.
Hope this helps.

Helpful but also kinda frustrating, since Foundry paints are expensive and only available to me by mail
