They have come out well, nice and bright. Was it much quicker using the contrast paints, that your normal method?

It was much faster, and more foregiving than my usual method, certainly for 6mm I think they really work well, not done much on 28mms with them yet though.

Sorry for the late reply, what colour did you use for the flesh?
