Everything I have to paint at the moment will be using a black undercoat though.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-19807214183441903692013-03-02T10:01:58.299+00:002013-03-02T10:01:58.299+00:00Hi Steve T W,

I'm increasingly using inks to paint with and this method with ink over the top gives instant highlighting as well...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-44383424559320904202013-03-02T08:14:03.022+00:002013-03-02T08:14:03.022+00:00I too use a black undercoat except for figs I wan...I too use a black undercoat except for figs I want to have in bright colours (typically 28s)Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-24012540290960558662013-03-01T22:48:29.520+00:002013-03-01T22:48:29.520+00:00Glad to hear it worked.
