Great work Christopher. I love the base too. What brand are they? Artizan?

They look great and the bases are really good, is it Silflor's flowers you used?

I may be showing my age and not understanding text speak, but what does 'AP' stand for?

AP is short for army painter and happy you asked as I miss a lot of the abbreviations myself on other things and so I'm in the getting old category myself. :)

I used army painter with several highlights added is what I should have said. :)

Wow! I've never used it, but your models are a cracking advert for it.

Thank you, :) but remember army painter alone won't get the same effect as you need to add highlights, but no doubt speeds up painting which is fun for a change and something I find myself doing more often these days. :)

Great work there - the shading and bases are fantastic.

Love Artizan stuff and you've made them look even better.

Thank you folks. :)

Taking into account I take very frequent breaks I estimate roughly 1 1/2 hours per figure from start (cleaning)to finish(protective coat). So, not exactly lighting quick, but for sure faster then my other methods. ;)
