Basic block painting, followed by Minwax Tudor Satin staining with a brush - careful to remove pooled stain prior to drying. After the stain dried completely, sprayed with Testors Dullcote. Finally, highlighting and detailing - like the eyes, etc. I'm sure you will do a great job on the Batman model.

Like you mention these larger miniatures don't come with the same depth in relief as one is use to from 28's - I'm very impressed by the result you've achieved. As for Mr. P, he was really a wonderful character. I've been studying him a lot too, as he was present at Borodino. Legend has it, that whilst drowning in that river he managed to exclaim a last "Vive L'Empereur" and the men at the shore half cheered half wept as he went under. That's the kind of general you'd want on your display shelf - Kimo is lucky!Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-10934066397417020672015-04-25T13:52:08.340-07:002015-04-25T13:52:08.340-07:00Good to hear you like him, Kimo.

In the past, Kimo was an avid painter himself, and hopefully this may get him around to painting again.
