Pekinese Japanese. Sailors added 14th April

[Svennn]

Being fortunate enough to get my hands on some of these Oshiro? from JimBibbly already I dived in and slapped some paint on one. Instead of using my tried and trusted paints I decided to nip out to the FLGS yesterday and treated myself to some new Vallejo especially for these. Chosen base colour dried very shiny (possibly because it was Gamecolour?) and he nearly went out the window to be quickly followed by the paint bottle. Second attempt was much better and came out nice and flat - hoorah, only for the third to also be shiny AAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHH . Anyway, I persevered and then hit him with some flat varnish.

Very good dark blue.

My thinking is that a lot of the time folks paint dark blue uniforms far too light, as they are trying to have some highlights and go too far, or they start too light in the first place. But you've cracked it.

[traveller]

Very nice indeed!

I have to get some of those Japanese 

[Thunderchicken]

Effing gawgeous! I always doff my hat to your colour choices.

[Fanis]

I'll echo Plynkes' thoughts re the difficulty of rendering a truly good result of dark blue. Very good job indeed.

Excellent job, Svennn!

Though my Japanese from Jimbo won't look like that, and probably won't be Japanese either...
