So today I set to work on the Speedpaints knight. These paints are a lot different to the Xpress ones. Colours are fine. The biggest issue I found was that they seemed to bleed/spread into other areas.

You can see how much the yellow spread.

Now to be fair, these paints are relatively new and as such I do need to learn how to use them. I had forgotten these weren’t what I am used to so perhaps I didn’t leave them long enough. Possibly a case of “only fools blame their tools, when the skill is lacking!”

So anyway here is the glamour shot…

I had a spare shield so painted it up.

Here he is with his buddy…

So, on the left Speedpaints 2.0 and on the right Xpress paint. Have I got a favourite… I am a bit torn… but if we look at only the blue, then i would have to go Speedpaint. I am going to print some more knights and do some with Contrast and the rest in the above two.
