TOPIC: First Try: Napoleonic French |
Standard User Posts: 27 oppi 26th Feb 2016 03:32:53 Here are my very first painted 6mm figures ever. In fact im not a experienced miniature painter, only did some boardgame stuff with rather cheap colors. For Baccus i bought regular Miniatur paint and i hope to start my FPW Project next week. These Napoleonics were just a test run :) I might switch to white Primer though, since i can see the details better. Cheers
BTW: Lovely miniatures and Buildings to paint ! |

I used black primer for years and found it worked fine if I was only doing a fast paint job with few details and dark uniforms. If I wanted to be able to see the details better or were using bright colours then I used a white primer. After a while I realized that black primer was making even the dark colours too dark and the whites were never really white. I now use white for everything and all of the figures look a little brighter. You need all the help you can get to make colours stand out when painting 6mm figures. Best regards, Glenn

Standard User Posts: 27 oppi 26th Feb 2016 10:25:46 Thank you for your kind words ! The bad camera really helps my figures to shine :) The basing system from Baccus is superb, so not really hard to do. I can´t wait to get my FPW starter pack, should arrive in 2-3 days. Until then i need make some more homemade Terrain :)
@Glenn I think i will use white primer for my big project. I´ll post some result as soon as i have some
