That’ll do it - and after you have used your playing pieces for a while, you’ll see if you need to spray a new layer of matt varnish.
2-3 layers - each layer thinly sprayed - and dry 24 hours between each layer.
You units will last a lifetime:+1:

I think we need a you tube video on how to paint this stuff.
I don’t understand how it looks that good, unless it takes you an hour to make one ship?
Perhaps a step by step guide: paints and brushes required and technique. Dry brushing and tips on doing many at one time.

That’s a good idea - I was planning such a project for the FMG pieces. No… not an hour, hard to pin it down because I do them in sets (all these hulls will have the same color, all these decks, etc.). Kinda curious how long it takes as well. It is really a lot easier than folks imagine (pending on how detailed and if one uses decals) - I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of other people’s cool paint jobs in the future - kinda excited to put up some helper posts or video… :lol:

Tigerclaw, no, I don’t sell… though I’ve painted sets for friends (hehe - they call ‘em Viracochas’). Three main reasons I don’t sell: I could never promise an exact date of completion. I think it’s cool to see other people’s painted and/or modded minis. Price? I tried to pin it down per hour… what I’d have to charge I’d be embarrassed to ask of people. :|
I do have what I call ‘scraps’ - though they’re in fine shape. These are all the painted minis that were replaced from my AA50th. I’ve considered using them for trade but the problem is I can’t think of anything A&A related that I need… *shrug
Glad you like the minis - took quite awhile. Can’t wait to put my brush on the FMG pieces!

The only other photos I have are on BoardGameGeek, AA50th.
Hope that helps…

Hey guys- stumbled upon this topic, and WOW, I am impressed!
I am also painting my pieces and had a few questions for Viracocha…sorry if it’s too much; I’m like a kid in a candy shop!
1. What did you coat the finished products with? A liquid wash, a spray enamel, a paint on coating?
2. How did you make such amazing bases (rock,sand,grass)? That is SO cool.
3. Do you use a preparatory wash or something before you paint the pieces?
4. How do you do the really intricate details on the infantry? (insignia,etc. Especially on the SS)
5. And lastly (sorry if this is a lot), would you mind giving me an estimate of how much all of this costs you? Excluding the paint and the pieces.
Thank you so much for these great examples and exquisite work! Great job :-D
