These figures have been in process off and on for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I sat down at the painting desk and did something else entirely. This morning, though, I finished up the last two of these. As always, I'm playing around with the painting style to find something that doesn't emphasize the shortcomings of these homecast figures...
A burnt umber wash and gloss varnish does wonders but these look good as is from here.
ReplyDeleteI have used gallongs (it seems) of burnt umber washes on 28mm Old Glory and other Dark Ages figures in the past. I should give it a try; my untested assumption is that the wash works better with sharper details, unlike these homecast figures.
