How to Speed Paint 28mm Perry Choson Koreans

Here are some WIP photos of what will be three units of spearmen for a Korean Imjin War army. They are all Perry figures and include two units of regular infantry and one of militia/irregulars. Besides still needing their bases flocked, unit banners need to be added as well as painting the two regular unit commanders.
They were sprayed with a white undercoat and given a block paint job with basic colors. Over this a Minwax Tudor Satin stain was applied, followed by Testors Dullcoat and some highlighting. I really like the simplicity of the Korean costume of the period.
I was fortunate to have obtained these figures from a TMP sale several weeks ago. As I've not felt the desire to paint for sometime, this is a good project to start back up - ever so slowly. The army will be led by my Changun figure, and the Koreans were the underdogs in the Imjin War.

P.S. I recently added word verification for comments as I noticed I started getting a ton of spam comments - sorry for any inconvenience.

  7. Great to see you getting back to your blog. I had a great time hanging out at Fixed Bayonets with you yesterday. I wish there would have been a better turn out, but maybe next year. I guess we will have to ramp up for the next event.
