With luck I don't have to repaint any of the black areas such as cartridge boxes, shakos etc. I find even the red and yellow cover much better over a straight Vallejo matt black base, more so than with 'primer'. The trousers I think would be better given a grey base coat before the Ivory though next batch as the contrast between the black and ivory is a little to stark. I'll touch them up later today. You know what John, I'm already thinking how good these wonderful castings would be based up in bigger units like yours, the AB's are so much finer than previously painted Essex figs and I'm not sure they will take individual handling! I'm tempted.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-9312073324963464472016-06-14T00:48:27.108-07:002016-06-14T00:48:27.108-07:00Very impressive 'Lee!Very impressive 'Lee!Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-34023397310966128412016-06-13T12:42:31.268-07:002016-06-13T12:42:31.268-07:00An hour for 8 figs is very good.
