Title: Speed Paint Pirates
Post by: Oldgamer on July 16, 2022, 06:44:53 PM
I have seen a few reviews of the Army Painter Speed Paint range and thought l would try them out.
I had a few Foundry Pirates floating about that would be an ideal project, a Rebels & Patriots Treasure Island stockade attack scenario posted on the relevant FB group had caught my interest so l set to work.

I tried a black undercoat with white zenithal highlight first, they looked ok but decided to stick with a plain white undercoat.

I am happy with the result, l wasn't so happy when the colours ran when l tried to brush on Matt varnish, l had to spray vanish instead with no issues.

The characters are next on the paint bench.

They have loads of character, great painting on still the best pirate figure to have been released in my own humble opinion. ;)

Love the Foundry pirates!  The speed paints worked well on them, indeed.

Looking great! I like the mixed yet "uniform" appearance if that makes sense!
