28mm Napoleonics speed painting experiments.

[@haydnscott7027]

They look great, and yes the speed paints sure give a different look. Love my Napoleonics

[@stephensmith1256]

Cheers it took a bit of time to get like the look but im very happy with the results

Yes, Yes, Yes! Back to 28’s 🙂 A useful white is Apothecary White from GW Contrast range of paints - think grey wash and that is about right, the only thing is, the paint does drop to the bottom of the jar, so you need to shake and shake and then shake some more. I have popped some steel ballbearings in mine. Anyway, glad to see you with some 28’s on the bench. Cheers.

Ha Ha i'd be delighted with the figs you've done here pal they look perfect to me....great work

[@stephensmith1256]

Thanks mate

[@maryhinge6334]

Excellent work mate. I’ve been using the speed paints myself a fair bit lately and they’re really good for lots of things. The one thing I have found is that they’re much better on plastics than metals but you can cross that bridge if and when you get to it. 👍

[@stephensmith1256]

Thanks mate, i do have some metal minis to paint mainly mounted command. Will be interesting to see the results.

I'd love to see the difference on these Napoleonics if you swap from a black primer to a light grey or mid grey, still with the white drybrush on top.

[@stephensmith1256]

Im thinking of trying this on the horse flesh colours. Will give it a go in the next vid

[@bonysminiatures3123]

[@stephensmith1256]
