G'day Dakka!


I appeal to your collective wisdom! I'm having trouble getting effective results on a mini.

I've tried a couple of ways and not really landing on anything I'm really happy with. Wondering if you could maybe point me a direction of some stuff that is similar or techniques that I might try.

I've tried building up from white so the outer is darker than the bright glow from within... but it's not working. I'll try and post some pics of my latest attempt soon.


Any examples or suggestions, as always, are appreciated!

Here is a great step by step tutorial with explanations, and some great examples on a few different mini's at the end. He uses PP minis but the technique is the same no matter what you are painting.
