Yeah, those look good! I love the orange on the mushroom man - must pick up that colour.

Interesting, good to see it works on wings aswell. And yes, Bob Olleymodels seem to have been sculpted for contrast paints...

I reckon this guy is my best effort with contrast paints so far. They're really handy for this sort of highly yet subtly detailed figure:

I'm not going to use contrast on the accompanying banner, though, just watered down conventional paint, as I think that will provide a better base for heraldry.

Bloggard · « **Reply #26 on:** July 08, 2019, 01:02:39 PM »

depends which colour you have in mind for the flag I'd say.
some contrast paints, such as blood angels red, would work very well I think.

Hobgoblin · « **Reply #27 on:** July 08, 2019, 01:06:40 PM »

Yes, I might use that for the top bit. But for the main flag, I want to paint a design on black, and I think black paint will prove less vulnerable to rubbing off and better for working on than the black contrast paint.

Bloggard · « **Reply #28 on:** July 08, 2019, 06:05:20 PM »

yes, the black contrast paint wouldn't work for that I imagine.

It's like a technique I used 20-30 years ago, but simpler.
