Subject: Late Roman Equites Scholae Palatinae- Rapid Painted Horses
A while ago I came to a decision regarding army painting, which I planned Ito speed paint two armies for every one that I took my time over. Some may think me sprightly at 58 but I'm beginning to "feel it" in terms of how much can I paint in my life what can actually be used useful on the wargames table? The trick being able to paint fast enough as to get units ship shape and battle ready on the table at pace, but not to lose too much by way of quality. so, in this case the contrast method vs the makeup sponge method!
The Black Undercoat, Neutral Grey Drybrush, Contrast Paint Method: Plastic Elven Steed- worked very well due to the very smooth texture on the horse flesh
The Black Undercoat, Neutral Grey Drybrush, Contrast Paint Method: Plastic Elven Steed- did not work very well due to natural "pitting" during the casting process of metal miniatures[ /b]
