No need to risk digits re: slot removal, just get a load of emeryboards/nailfiles. job done.

Yup and I use black or grey as a undercoat usually, white if I want a brighter mini, also in the uk humbrol have a range of acrylic spraycans, whose brown is a spot on match for khemri brown (GW) so perfect for basecoating my 15mm GZG army.

Anyway understand your reason for the whitelight, if it works for you all good. But do get the GW washes, devlan mud and badab black are a must for you.

Best wishes

My solution to your problem has been the other way round, white undercoat to get the bright clean and easy to paint colours, then a black wash before I start painting, it also helps me to notice the detail and see whats what.

Vyper,
I'm supposed to drive to a game store tomorrow night for some gaming.
I'm a little short on cash right now, but I should be able to afford a couple bottles of GW ink washes like you suggested.
But then again, you never know with GW products. $$$$$$$  lol

dijit,
I'll one up you.  :)
I was thinking about priming grey, then adding white spray from up top for a zenith effect, followed by a black wash.
But then I just got cheap and lazy.  lol

Another WIP shot.



All of these WIP photos are a little washed out.
I've noticed I get my best photographic results outside on an overcast day.
It's been too sunny out here in Cali.

These are coming up really well, stick with what you're doing mate, just use a bit of GW washes, you'll be very impressed with the results.

I bought some inks the other night and I've started using them on my minis.
I just picked up brown and black for starters. I did some touch up on my previous WIPs with them and they worked great.
Thanks for the tip Vyper!

Here's a few more WIP models.

The flesh tones on the middle guy could use some more depth.



I went for a dirtier approach on some of these after I Google Image searched "Mad Max".

Thanks Lucky Joe!

I'm still painting away on these guys.





I'm down to my last 5, then basing, then any final touch ups.
I ordered some oil drums and cacti last night so I can start on some terrain.

Those paintjobs are looking good, and you're making good progress. Quick question, what did you use for bases?

Thanks Luckyjoe, Thanks Papa Spanky.

I base all of my standard sized miniatures on 1 1/4 washers.
They are dirt cheap and give a stable heavier base that plastic slottas.

thanks Marine 0846!

I've been sick for over a week which has really slowed progress down.

I finally went to the doctors today and got antibiotics.

I'm hoping to have some goodies posted up this weekend.

aggro84.

Hope you get well.
Being sick is no fun, gets in the way of painting. lol
If you are interesting in trying some different ink, try Winsor and Newton ink.
Nut Brown is what I use.

Thanks Marine 0846, Thanks The Rock

The models have basically been finished for a few days. I've just been sick and couch bound. I'm hoping to post some photos tomorrow.
