I mostly use Future/Klear mixed with paint or ink but also have an acrylic stain from here in Japan that's not bad for pteruges and things like that. Always a bonus to find short-cuts that do a good job :)<br /><br />CheersPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825920943136724941.post-26371141382506488702012-09-07T21:20:06.588+09:002012-09-07T21:20:06.588+09:00@ Aaron, I have a can of Minwax Polishades that a...@ Aaron, I have a can of Minwax Polishades that a Canadian friend brought back from a trip years ago, it is not as good as the real thing but it's the only I have got. One of my friends in Japan is going to work on starting a business and he will sell (hpefully soon) the real army painter in Japan as well!<br /><br />@Achilles, It worked Ok on the bavarian blue, the prussians are very very shallow in detail so I won't dip them otherwise they will look awful, although I have to use some speed painting tecs since these are jsut going to be gaming pieces.<br />We will see, I will keep you posted.<br /><br />Down with basing now!<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GGiovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796719723877980899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825920943136724941.post-6422534348932684472012-09-07T16:53:37.357+09:002012-09-07T16:53:37.357+09:00Nice work on the Bavarians Giovanni.
My only sug...Nice work on the Bavarians Giovanni. <br /><br />My only suggestion is DO NOT use the dip on the Prussians. The dip works wonders with warm colours (white, beige, browns, reds, etc.) but unfortunately it doesn't produce the same results with cold colours (i.e. blue, grey etc).<br /><br />In my experience so far just undercoating them dark grey or black then drybrushing with a couple of shades of grey and finally washing them with two coats of black ink (the GW one works wonders) usually takes care of the dark areas pretty quickly. All you have left to do is just paint the remaining colours. <br /><br />I hope the above helps :) <br />Enjoy your holidays!Achilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364203348442843743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825920943136724941.post-55131707136215769512012-09-07T16:10:51.794+09:002012-09-07T16:10:51.794+09:00Nice work!

Just out of interest, what version of the dip do you use, and where do you source it from? <br /><br />Cheers,<br />AaronPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.com
