Hey guys,

I'm about to pick up a really nice 55mm model and I'm wondering if it is much different to paint on that scale than it is for 28mm models. Do all the same ideas apply for that scale, such as inking, shading, highlighting and drybrushing? Anything different I should keep in mind?

Thanks!

I would imagine its largely the same thing, however shading/highlighting becomes more important since its more obvious at this scale.

Also, I think it opens the door for some new techniques. I would check out Cool Mini or Not and ask around there. You'll be able to get plenty of advice there.
