Re: Figure Painting Progress Thread

Hi,

Taking a break from painting Samurai I painted up some Irregular
sheep (manufactured by Irregular, rather than any indicator of the
sheep's training)and painted the red coats of 4x AWI guys.. Although
flocks are technically Bge(I), I'm just going use them as generic
baggage elements. I also "found" a bag of Irregular Wwg's and
kneeling baggage camels which I bought a while back - I think the
plan was to use those to model my fortified Ottoman camp - a
perimeter of stakes, kneeling camels and wagon laager (a bit of
everything they have in the DBM list...)

Hugs
Bob

Bob, That sounds like a better idea than diluting a pre-pigmented varnish, like I currently do. My way was okay for the AWI "campaign-weary" look, but I'd...
