Post by: JOHN BOND on February 19, 2019, 09:47:02 PM

These Papuan Infantry figures where beautifully sculptured by Kostas Herko , the detail is clearly defined and a pleasure to paint.

I second this, they look excellent. Do you have any tips on how to achieve this?

Thanks john I had not heard of Nuln Oil until now - I assume its a dark almost black ink type wash?
Is this the stuff?

I have to admit I normally use W&N Sepia tone ink for this job but that stuff looks interesting.
