Title: Couple of glossy nappies
Post by: majorsmith on 10 October 2022, 04:18:03 PM

Finished a couple of tradition riflemen 25mm gloss finish with old style flock basing quite pleasing really as they have been stored away for 30 years!

Using Humbrol enamels I bet. I still remember the distinctive smell they used to give off. :)

they look fantastic. Both the figures, and your paint-job.

I remember advising players to pick up certain (new) units
carefully by the base, as the figures had been painted the
evening before & weren't fully dry yet. Those days were
before central heating/airing cupboards etc. (places to
speed up drying).
