WIP - Painting 3mm figures
« on: April 04, 2016, 10:58:07 AM »
Can I give you some advice for 3mm figures ???

With small models like 1/600 I think strong contrasts look best.

Here some more results of my WIP

Thx for the tip, I've always preferred a softer brown wash for the right effect. But I will give this method a trial on some 3mm infantry figures and see if this works for me.

Looking good. I am using black too as I have 1970/80s US vehicles in basically green.
