The French commander and generals are to be the last of my bases for the French contingent of my AWI project.
After finishing the painting a couple of weeks ago I brushed on my preferred Windsor and Newton's galleria mat varnish. When dried the blue jackets had a gloss sheen to them and then, in a moment of madness, I picked up an old can of mat spray varnish and sprayed them. They greyed. I wanted to bang my head against the wall. I took the can out into the garden along with my air rifle and removed the temptation from my grasp. A few touch ups and some more brush on varnish and they are suitable.

And the whole French contingent.
Next up something new for one of my ongoing projects.
That's a great stand Dan, really impressive Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael.
ReplyDeleteHope you've got no copiright for the command stand, the little promontory is a great idea, soon duplicated! Excellent job...
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil. I don't know if I've seen this anywhere else but I thought it would look good for this base.
DeleteNice work, Dan - in spite of the troubled can of aerosol.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. And I enjoyed getting rid of the can.
DeleteThey do look grand - nice painting :)
