I have been frantically preparing this project from bare plastic during the last 14 days.
It probably looks a bit like it was painted with broken hands while wearing a blindfold... at least in comparison with stuff I usually paint. There is however a very good explanation!
I decided that to keep this in 'spirit' I would paint it all using Humbrol enamels. I inherited a very large (complete at the time I think) collection of these paints many years ago. I've never really used them and always felt I owed it...
I really tried hard to do it, but must admit that I folded in the end and used some AP washes on the gurkhas. The Japanese are 100% humbrol and oil wash. I didn't master it.
I like how the enamels flow and cover, but I think my use of these will be limited. There are some hard limitations to bear in mind too.
The whole deal is going to be used with Brink of Battle skirmish rules during my participation convention Do or Dice in Kiel/Rendsburg Germany tomorrow.
I'm a really big fan of skirmish gaming with big figures and these will not be the last 1/32 or 54 mm figures I paint. Along with the paints I also inherited a huuuuuuuuge collection of 1/35 vehicles, 1/32 aeroplanes and so on... they've never seen anything but the shelves but I think I have to look into use them for gaming.
I bought the jungle outpost too:
It needs more love, but I think it's fit for fight at the weekend.
I also made a bunch of jungle terrain, but haven't had the time to photograph it yet.
Cheerio!
