Despite oppressive heat, today I pushed myself into doing something. Although it was a challenge, with paint drying on the palette, I had a go at the Contrast painted Egyptians.
A spot of drybrushing and touching up and they don't look too shabby. The good thing is that you can go back over with Contrast paints as a pinwash to restore shading.
Meanwhile, the French and Indian War obsession continues with the purchase of more reference material:
I've also dug out some that I already had. I know now that painting with Contrast paints should hurry things up.
You lay the foundation for a good FIW library.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. There's a lot more but the pictures went awry!

a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing. 😀
ReplyDeleteStew, indeed it is!

Got amazed with your blog. Sticking to 1/87 forced into an incredible amount of conversions but the results are just incredible. Now I´ll try to find some 1/87 or 1/100 M3 Halftracks as the israelis used them up to 82 (avoiding to order from England due to Brexit, unfortunately, which will not be easy).
ReplyDeleteJoao,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words; the only 1:87 IDF M3 I'm aware of was the CMSC one, but converting the Roco version is relatively easy, although they are difficult to find these days.
Perhaps a 3D printed version is the best option?
