Gloss however is a must. <br />Cheers!<br />- JohnJohn Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465161620134394060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069095863978098122.post-16722806631070129992021-05-04T07:52:30.729-04:002021-05-04T07:52:30.729-04:00Inch by inch.

Some collectors of toy soldiers paint their collection in the traditional style, red cheeks, etc. I started off with wargame miniatures 25mm, and then returned to toy soldiers. But I have stuck with using a wash/ink for the facial detail, which is my preference. You might also enjoy using such on your figures, its so quick and easy (the sweep of a brush) and brings out the casting detail. You can also get grey and other colours for coat shading. But having gone over to 54mm, I do like my larger scale figures to have a gloss varnish, and not just for protection. Those Austrians are already looking good!<br />MichaelMGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063536309395034188noreply@blogger.com
