But impatience got the better of me as I gave it a go before I thoroughly knew what I was doing.

I've seen your AFVs and after your weathering magic on them, they look so realistic even at such ridiculously small scales. :) FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-39225770789929399012018-04-01T19:35:36.427+08:002018-04-01T19:35:36.427+08:00It's always fun to learn new techniques :)It's always fun to learn new techniques :)FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-41976564982205052332018-04-01T19:34:53.840+08:002018-04-01T19:34:53.840+08:00I didn't actually cover myself with glory in t...I didn't actually cover myself with glory in this error strewn effort ... lol ... :) Oil dot filters is not as needed (if at all) for miniature figurines but even then there are masterclass painters out there who use oils extensively on their minis but perhaps not in such a way.

I hear you on the dark brown tone ... the thing is I plan to add black and brown washes to the details so I'm still unsure if they will be enough.

I ...Interesting to see your take on that technique. I do use it for quite some time already with reaaally cheap paints and haven‘t paid it much thought thus far. One thing I‘ve worked out though is you shouldn‘t use the same colours for every project. You need different colours for a filter over let’s say grey than you need for green or yellow base colours.Moiterei_1984https://www.blogger.com/profile/13808567081733803572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-54270819447397614602018-03-29T02:33:20.597+08:002018-03-29T02:33:20.597+08:00Óh, really great and interesting sir!Óh, really great and interesting sir!Michal DwarfCrypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915669873652904866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-10992758073123585142018-03-29T01:28:01.627+08:002018-03-29T01:28:01.627+08:00My goodness this is very interesting and although ...My goodness this is very interesting and although beyond me, I shall be watching with interest.

Either a old junk kit, or something that has a few bumps/indents etc for you to paint around. Adding more of a dark brown tone may be useful also.
