Up to my sleeves in Dip.

The second sleeve of shotte is finished and queues up for the brown stuff. 

I almost forgot the courier in my haste to base up with the mud. Something I tried that worked quite well is to brush some of the mud onto the horse’s legs when wet. This of course will give the perfect look to a mud splattered horse.

My Soft tone Army shade must be over ten years old now. A thick ‘skin’ has formed over the surface after the last few times using it. This has to be pierced by a stirring stick to get to the sticky goodness underneath. The solution is still going strong though after all this time. It’s quite rewarding to still be using it, although I did have to throw my Strong tone away last week. It had become quite thick and gooey. I added some paint thinner to it but this made it worse. It was never the same so I switched to my old Soft tone instead. I find it better to shade the model with washes to bring out certain details, then use the Soft tone to lock it all in and make it bomb proof.

Citadel colour paints are very handy for changing colours, this guy used to have brown trousers. A quick once over with a green Colour paint and now he looks a lot smarter.

Match-cord...bloody match-cord! Well there’s always one.
