| 1 The
famous inking process begins. This is Windsor & Newton Peat Brown,
watered down with their canary Yellow ink, in a (roughly) 1:4 ratio,
then applied as an over all wash (excluding areas of bright
colours"
Watering it down with water (surprisingly) doesn't seem to work, as you get a lumpy finish, and the ink cannot be stored at all - it has separated into water and thick sticky pigment within a matter of days |
 |
| 2 The man in the middle has actually not been painted at all before the application of the ink - this is straight onto the white car-spray undercoat - not bad for a lazy sod, eh ?? ! |  |
| 3After the inking is done, it is time to do the final layers to the base. I dry-brush the (textured) wood filler first with Miniature Paints Chestnut Brown..... |  |
| 4......... and then with a more earth-toned colour, which is actually a Humbrol colour, number 110. |  |
| 5 This is after adding in some more straps to the figures, plus some relevant ink colours (see that green I said might be too bright..?) ... |  |
| 6 ......and this shows how Red ink is used on the top of the lilac base paint to create a deeper, more interesting colour. | 
|
and that, other than adding a few patches of flock to the base, is that !!
