Finished these up to go in line while awaiting the arrival of a can of Minwax Tudor Satin stain. Just called the four local Ace Hardware stores, and all of them are out of this particular shade. As Ace is the only store that ever stocked this shade; hope it hasn't been discontinued. An order with Amazon shows it's also not in stock with them either. May end up finally giving GW Agrax or Army Painter stain a try.
Last time I bought a can Tudor stain, there was no satin so bought the gloss. I prefer satin but the gloss works too especially since I spray with flat varnish afterward.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Jonathan. The Ace I went to didn't have the gloss either. Seems like Tudor is getting scarce. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteDean, dark stained wood is out of style right now, the Tudor hue is a victim of white kitchen cabinets. Walnut, perhaps?
DeleteSo far, only Tudor seems to look the best on figures. I may have to go the Agrax route.
DeleteThe figures look good dean - hope you are able to source your stain!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! Might have to go the GW Agrax or Army Painter route - everything happens for a reason :) Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteAgree, looking very good!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Michal, for your kind words. These are purely production line painted figs - mass troops. Best regards, Dean
DeleteLooking good Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Ray! Best regards, Dean
DeleteThat's an impressive paint table - looking good already.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! Just got in an order of Perrry Imjin War figs today too. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteNicely done Dean good luck with the stain ‘hunt’
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. Should be getting a can from Amazon in a week. Regards, Dean
