It all fit together so beautifully that it kind of re-instilled a bit of faith in GW for me, it was that good. On the painting side, you'll see in my next post, I've gone for a 'very' weathered look which has been great fun too.the unrealistic artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718404801150830440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773032005679100397.post-17993242110693089242012-07-09T20:40:45.987+01:002012-07-09T20:40:45.987+01:00Looking good, mate!

I end up doing more coats but hopefully achieving a smoother finish. Also in this case the yellow base coat 'really' showed up the pre-shading at first until I was able to get more coats on.the unrealistic artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718404801150830440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773032005679100397.post-82401719126514696672012-07-09T17:46:43.980+01:002012-07-09T17:46:43.980+01:00I've never tried preshading.

Do you have to thin your base coat more to let the preshading come through?Zabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773032005679100397.post-21339296745690405392012-07-09T10:13:56.573+01:002012-07-09T10:13:56.573+01:00Cheers oink, good question.
