But it was a really fun experiment at the very least ;) And good advice for the next one when I give it a shot... maybe take Scott's approach and use Deck Tan as the base ;) MrLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564055436566237661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195821792553315805.post-41059959660375354372015-08-06T22:56:32.670+01:002015-08-06T22:56:32.670+01:00A very interesting experiment and it is certainly ...A very interesting experiment and it is certainly clear to me that you've had a lot of fun with it.

Washing a model to an end point is my absolute favorite way to paint, as I find it very therapeutic. It just flows really nice, and the figures just soak it up.<br /><br />If you do another one, go about 4x brighter in your pre shades for the wash. <br /><br />This is a lovely model by the way, I just have something to contribute for once other then just ooooh's and aaaah's :)greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.com
