A command pack and another machine gun to give those native types a problem, this time Perry miniatures.

Lovely figures, Jeff. May I ask what you are using for varnish? Nice and matt.

It's this stuff George, best stuff out there IMHO. No frosting and flat as a pancake.

Don't mix it up with the general purpose varnish as that has a slight sheen to it.
Hope this helps,

Jeff

Beautiful Jeff. Very smooth paintwork. Sailors are very 'in' this week

Having seen these it looks like a visit to the Empress stand at partizan is going to be in order. Very nice, I like the Sennett hatted ones in particular, just the thing for manning river steamers.

More nice work on those Jeff

Jeff, any idea what shade of Vellejo blue would match the shade on your figures please? I want to add a Gatling gun to my Bongo Bongo Field Force using your piccys as inspiration!

Jeff965 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 07, 2017, 10:26:50 PM »

Sorry Harry, I haven't got a Vallejo blue to do a comparison but someone on here must know. I've used the Foundry triad Union Blue 111, and the Windsor and Newton varnish mentioned above lifts the colour a little in my opinion. It's about eight quid for the three pots of paint but I use it a lot so it's well worth the money.

Harry Faversham · « **Reply #43 on:** May 08, 2017, 07:00:27 PM »

Thanks Jeff, Foundry it is then... anchors away!
