After painting only 28mm for a while, when I came back to 1/72 I tried the same techniques: dry brushing, 3 levels of shading. BUT, I have found it looks best to simply paint a solid color, and add a wash (earthy brown for skin, black for everywhere else). Some areas get a highlight, but not as much as with 28mm.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08759810100407996847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351339573886179998.post-90223360565185136502009-06-11T14:05:20.462-07:002009-06-11T14:05:20.462-07:00The real problem with 1/72 plastics for me is that they are so cheap that I keep buying them! Being in France for a few weeks has really helped because I&#39;ve just brought a couple of armies with me and have no distractions or opportunities to buy any more!<br /><br />For 1/72 an below, I undercoat in white and then paint with watered down acrylics: about 50/50 water and paint. This technique works well with models like these which are almost flawless and have lots of detail to get the paint flowing into the recesses. I don&#39;t find that dry brushing works so well with a lot of these plastics because the detail tends to be more shallow than the detail on larger metals.<br /><br />I have experimented with using mediums instead of water to dilute paint and you do get better results but I just use water because it&#39;s more convenient. The newish GW washes are excellent because they have a better consistency than diluted paint but I prefer to have the flexibilty to mix my own colours and choose my own consistency.<br /><br />One thing I really like about 1/72 plastics are the more realistic proportions and detail in the sculpts. I find that most metal figures look too cartoon like with their stocky builds, overly large heads and exagerated detail.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05523010158146508364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351339573886179998.post-5230160916568602652009-06-11T09:41:20.831-07:002009-06-11T09:41:20.831-07:00Looks good. These models are quite a bit nicer than the Hat sculpts, aren&#39;t they? I&#39;m being tempted to buy some more 1/72 boxes. I have it mind to do some DBA armies.<br /><br />Have you already mentioned how you paint your models? Are you using that new-fangled dip method?Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08759810100407996847noreply@blogger.com
