What a good straightforward guide. Excellent. I particularly like the way you urge people not to fret over minor details. The mass effect is the whole point of 6mm.

Just as a sort of idle question, does anyone have any ideas or tips for 'advanced' painting of 6 mm figures? 

I recall one suggestion a while ago (but cannot find it) of a black wash undercoat and then three dots of pale flesh on the face before painting but I might have misremembered.

So, does anyone have any ideas or can anyone comment on how much longer it would take to paint a unit?

My go to has been brown face, followed by the three dots for Europeans.

Yes, brown face (currently with a contrast paint) and then a dot of flesh on the nose and one dot on each cheek either side.

There was this from someone on the forum but the photos are not working. But elsewhere on the blog you can see some of the fantastic painting.
