For the darker Russian uniforms I think it works best. just finished basing both battalions and a command base, I'll post them soon and you can judge for yourself how they came out.<br />Regards<br />PaulPaulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-18315232213317041872012-03-29T08:03:58.399-07:002012-03-29T08:03:58.399-07:00Hi Paul,

If it's anything like the Army Painter the metals will come out great!<br /><br />Hi Ken, Still young for another year!! Thanks to you and Ian but I really have to be honest here, my input is very little! All I do is paint by numbers then paint the AP on. Once it drys I pick out face, belts trousers and buttons as well as a little highlighting on kiwer. Thats 23 of them complete and the last 9 I am waiting for the AP to dry and will finish them off tomorrow. I really can't believe how good a finish the AP gives after some careful detailing. Almost messed up the last batch with my Revell matt varnish as it is starting to get stringy and is my last tub.<br /><br />Hi Ray, I will take your advice and try to split up the foot by doing some cavalry and artillery when the foot get mind numbing.<br /><br />Hi Mike,<br />Glad you like them, Hopefully I will get a few battalions finished soon.<br /><br />Best regards<br />PaulPaulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-76858890745550318192012-03-07T13:35:08.225-08:002012-03-07T13:35:08.225-08:00Nice work Paul, look forward seeing hordes of thm ...Nice work Paul, look forward seeing hordes of thm here...MiniMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818743972462962721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-801678477523904992012-03-07T11:38:22.797-08:002012-03-07T11:38:22.797-08:00Good luck with the Russians!!!

The AP does give a nice finishing touch but it's the brushwork with the acrylics that counts.<br /><br />39?

I probably should have waited to put the metallics on and do the little highlighting that I did, but I can always go back afterwards and touch them up a bit. Iam curious to see how it works!<br /><br />PeterGonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-80348231526452150732012-03-07T05:06:45.938-08:002012-03-07T05:06:45.938-08:00Thanks for the kind comments guys, fingers crossed...Thanks for the kind comments guys, fingers crossed I can stay focus to at least get a few battalions done and a few cavalry regiments.<br /><br />John, thats what I was thinking myself not much difference at all and the redoubts will have to come later :0(<br /><br />Angry L, thousands is a little high?
