I know a lot of people do there undercoat grey or white but I prefer black as it helps me see the detail better for painting.<br /><br />I find it much easier to start from dark and work to light with my colours. I used to base coat mid grey and them block in darker areas but it meant covering all the grey. With the black you can always let some of it show through on darker shades.<br /><br />It is easy to see the improvement in your painting fron your first figs to now. Keep trying out new ideas until you find a style you are happy with. I have just started with 28mm again and plan on doing a lot more.<br />Cheers<br />PaulPaulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-73175455032425472052011-07-15T01:06:29.112-07:002011-07-15T01:06:29.112-07:00Great job painting!

I'm just awed by how well some do the painting (like yourself). I recently got some dwarves from Redbox and ordered one fig from Reaper/Dark Heaven. The Reaper site said it was 28mm dwarf and it looks like a freakin giant. Learned that it is 32-35mm. Really bummed cause I now have to find other figures, and some ideas have changed. Was really disappointed with Redbox but when primed the detail really came out.Gael Ridire/Irish Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547696504562974659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-45840072763866782622011-07-15T00:33:58.677-07:002011-07-15T00:33:58.677-07:00Hi Mr P,

I'm curious what you think about it being faster than 15mm after painting a 36 man battallion. Should be interesting.<br />About the commenting, this does not solve itself I'm afraid.
