My approach to painting miniatures ...Thanks Colgar. My approach to painting miniatures is actually varied in that I sometimes paint the flesh first as was the case in both Wood Elf Goddesses http://bit.ly/1Le8Kec and also in many others. But in this case, I wanted to get the dress right first ... it just kinda felt right to do the dress first. So you could say I am a haphazard painted with no clear set way of working; for now at FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-87932393060906014102015-06-22T10:06:34.726+08:002015-06-22T10:06:34.726+08:00Much appreciated Finch.

I guess I didn't strip the primer and start over due to:<br />(a) Not being sure how Dettol would react with the Tamiya Primer, previously I used Dettol only on the GW acrylic 'primers'.<br />(b) Past experience with stripping paint or primer has shown me that sometimes the paint/primer still sticks stubbornly to the nooks and crannies. So it's a trade FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-36553539305171440932015-06-22T02:33:25.269+08:002015-06-22T02:33:25.269+08:00Great start F.E.M.

I always paint the flesh first on any model, I suppose because it makes the figure feel more "real" to me. Do you always do the clothing first? Or work from the ground upwards? Or am I making too much of this?Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-41172106875236957792015-06-17T10:31:23.915+08:002015-06-17T10:31:23.915+08:00Excellent start.
