Today I sprayed the bases I did yesterday with watered down PVA and this evening got on with painting them. Three repainting later and I am still not happy with them…

The first colour was too dark,the second,mint green and we are now back to a different version of ‘too dark’. I will get them dry brushed tomorrow and see if that helps.
The brown base in the front is going to be a hill fort or something similar.
Now if you remember absolutely ages ago I printed some triremes etc… they don’t look to bad next to the 2mm stuff.
Yeah, I hate when that happens to me, sometimes I just shove it aside and give a day or two – of course a good dry brushing always seems to perk-up a piece!

It’s often a good idea to go darker than you envisioned with he base coat then lighten it up with Dry-brushing, I’d say go with it and see what happens 😀.
You can always repaint them (again).
Cheers Roger.

For terrain it takes me ages to settle on a colour too. Got quite into mottling the colours with a sponge these days. Try adding a bit of yellow to the original colour as it could stop it looking too pale…?
They do look good though.
Cheers,
Pete.
