Why's that?


It's not really, but I like to try and do them in the allotted week. I'll probably give up on that next time, I'm usually a bit ragged by round ten  lol

I guess you could use the buckskin clad figures at a push, but generally the look is more early to mid C19th than late C18th. :?

Blimey!  :o

What brands?!

I tried two consecutive Testor dull coats and I thought it killed the detail on the miniatures... adding another gloss coat in there I can't even imagine!

The gloss should protect the mini and bring out the detail (?)
