Title: Musketeer IWI Black & Tans
Post by: Jase on December 12, 2008, 12:54:07 PM: Hi!

I finally have got something to show for myself :) Since the Jurassic Park project is on hold until I get my jeeps from Chieftain I painted up some of the excellent IWI miniatures from Musketeer.

Unfortunately, the flash washed out the colours a bit and not even Adobe could repair that, so I hope to make better pictures this weekend with natural light.

Cheers

Just a little question though, do you paint the upper part of the Lee Enfield gun metal? It’s hard to tell from the photos but that should be painted as wood.

Yeah, I paint that part metal, because I didn't know it had to be wood :) Well, need to do some more research then. Actually, I copied the uniform colours from someone from the Steve Dean forum, because I couldn't find any proper pictures of official uniforms.

Scroll down a bit and a whole bunch of LAFers confess to the same mistake.
