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!

Lovely Gary.. nice colours... did you get them from my Funcken book?
Don't really notice the varnish thing though!

Great brushmanship Gary, they have turned out really well. Like Barry I can't see the problem with the varnish.
Can I ask about the excellent basing. How did you do it and what colours have you used. It looks perfect for the Peninsular.

HI,
thanks for the comments. The colours were put together from a few google searches and some help from the Steve Dean forum. The book didn't cover Portugease. Most other things but not them.
Probably the worst pic for the varnish effect was the last one. Have a closer look at the back pach and back of the shako. Just couldn;t get these areas clean.
The bases were given a layer of Vallejo Pumice gel with GW Graveyard Earth mixed in. Then a fairly heavy dry brush of DW Desert Yellow and a light brush with GW bleached bone. The grass is Silfor winer grass I think.
Hope this helps

They look very nice to me ,like the bases I think I'll try and find out who sells the grass which looks really good.
