Painted playing pieces

@chrillenilsson:

now it worked…. good work!
Nice!

I´m doing mine as well, as we speak :)

cheers
i like to see other peoples paint work styles and preferences.
There is alot to paint though some countries can be  put on low priority like russian ships,you dont see too many of them being built in a game.

some good painting there. some straight lines unlike mine on the carriers.

may i suggest trying washes on your battle ships NOT the aircraft carriers though. the batle ships have lots of nooks and detail for a dark grey or brown wash to pull out the detail.

haven´t ever tried a wash…. but maybe I should…

Try it on just one. dip a brush in a dark colour, brown works well for me. Dip the brush brush in some water and nudge the brush on the side and you will see how strong the paint is still. Keep dipping until you like the water/paint ratio. dont panic if it covers the model all over and is too thick it happens to me still just thin the brush more and apply more watered down paints until it thins and use the brush to soak up bits which are too thick.

it sounds more complicated than it is just start with a very watered down wash and see. it useally takes an hour to dry with acrylics but its the last thing mostly anyway
