I...Im terrified of you making a balls of it too :)<br /><br />I never got the knack of painting miniatures entirely (or in the majority) with washes. I tried a couple of times and each time it ended in gnashing and wailing. But you are a more patient sort then I am. You can do it.<br /><br />cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-54681746900044354892014-04-26T20:51:18.785+01:002014-04-26T20:51:18.785+01:00It's quite nice taking on a model that I don&#...It's quite nice taking on a model that I don't have a familiar approach for. With the larger scale, I have to dilute the washes to avoid too much contrast. It reminds me of painting with watercolours, one bad wash and it's all over. It's very much softly does it.

I find it very hard to get anything but a cartoony and over exaggerated effect with the base/wash/highlight effort that I use for most 28mms and quadruply so with a guy like the Ettin. I find that I can get away with that sort of painting on exotic, fantasy skin tones, but not normal and familiar reasl-life tones.<br /><br />I will be keeping a close eye on progress. Good luck :)cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-16561456210966493402014-04-25T16:13:45.074+01:002014-04-25T16:13:45.074+01:00I'm liking that tattoo quite a bit. Yeah, I do...I'm liking that tattoo quite a bit. Yeah, I don't think the techniques we use for a 25-32mm sculpt would work with this guy.
