Standard User Posts: 183 pushing.tin 10th May 2023 07:14:18 I have done a painting tutorial on my blog for 6mm https://pushingtinwargames.blogspot.com/2023/05/painting-6mm.html |
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. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 4 davidheading 15th May 2023 01:59:19 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. A little goes a long way |
