My first painted scout

Well as I said yesterday I was using a technique that I learned for shading and highlighting models. In the previous pics I showed how the models look when they have been drybrushed with boltgun metal. Today I am going to show you a finished miniature using the technique.





It's not the best but you will notice that the paint job is a lot smoother than some of the marines I have done and that was a big deal for me going in. The idea is to lay on very thin coat after very thin coat of paint based on the proper shading and highlighting spots brought out by the drybrushing. It's a lot harder than it sounds and it takes an incredible amount of practice to get it right I don't know if all of you know this type of technique or not but I am going to do a step by step article on it at some point to show you exactly what I did. Well this is going to be a short post. I have been tired all week for some reason and tonight I really want to go to bed. Have a great night and see you next time.
