(AP 2016) Darkest Africa Azande

[syrinx0]

A good start!  I'm using W&N Galeria matte mixed with a little Tamiya Flatbase at the moment. It is really dead matte.

I've never tried a brush-on finish, maybe I'll give it a go.

Nicely done Matt. 

Always good to see some DA miniatures.   I was torn between Darkest Africa and BoB Chinese for AP2016.

Maybe Duncan Ceramic Spray Sealer SS339 Super Matte might be an alternative.

Used it several years ago and was satisfied

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a try as well.

Well done.
Very nice painting.

Great start.  Nice lineny look to the cloth.

I shall say this very quietly as I think it a heresy as I have never seen anyone else mention it at all but when Testors changed the formula on the spray to rid the toluene I switched to Humbrol acrylic matt spray   Readily available, cheap and consistent.

I use Dullcote sprayed on with a cheap airbrush, best matt varnish I've ever used. Cost a fortune in postage from the US but it's worth it.

New dull cote is definitely a satin finish.   
I have used my airbrush as well as a brush with the W&N + Tamiya Flat base mixture.  But if you can find a spray can you like that is definitely easier.

Wow! Very nice, and loving the scenery too!

Not if you tip a little bit of the clear liquid out.

Lovely job Matt

That's what I use when it's not too humid.

Nice work, Doc.
Those faces are so good.
 

I wouldn't call 'em boring.
Not within effective range anyway....

The war drums have been sounding relentlessly, frantically trying to summon all capable Azande warriors in the vicinity to battle. Over a month late... and they're here. Some of them at least...




My favorite is probably the leader with a 'Come at me bro!' pose. The head is a swap from a spare Azande warrior.





I've been seriously strapped for time over the last several weeks. I haven't even squeezed in a game of 'Congo'!!!

Brilliant
