Late last night I decided to dip a sample selection of figures in Army Painter Quickshade, so that I could let them dry out during the day, ready for a blast of matt varnish this evening. Here's the result. I overcooked the matt spray a bit, having forgotten that the figures are effectively already varnished, so a couple ended up a bit fuzzy. On the whole though, they don't look too bad, so I'll dip the rest of the figures tonight and repeat the operation tomorrow. After that it's a bit of detailing, adding rank insignia, armbands and the like, then onto the tanks!
They look great - good to see the comparison with your current Header photo - when you say 'dip', are you brushing it on or actually dropping them in the gunge?
ReplyDeleteI'm considering beginning to use some of this new-fangled stuff in the future, so was wondering what gave the best results?
These look brilliant, love the palette.
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps,
ReplyDeleteI brushed the stuff on, as this seemed to be the least revolting option!
I still have my doubts but it does mean you get a result for very little effort, once the blocking in bit is done.
:O)
Very nice model painting. I concur with Michael's comment that the colors work very well together.
ReplyDeleteThey really came out nicely! Somehow this Quickshade stuff always seems to work with other people.
