With little time I bought my 6mm painted, but I feel I should do some painting - I don't hate it but prefer to game.<br /><br />And thanks for the shoutout for my blog!<br /><br />Lastly, I found that the WW2 games did not scale down very well to 2'x2' and only last week made a 30'x20' (30' as it was the width of a map drawer and conveniently if to take a 6'x4' taable and scale down by 2.5 (1" becoming 1cm), you get a 30"x20" board). Should be starting off some games trying out some WW2 rules this year. <br /><br />3'x2' is I think the sweet spot for scaling down ancient rules for gaming so you are on a winner there!Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-78643463705867157582014-01-29T17:33:31.539+00:002014-01-29T17:33:31.539+00:00Your right, I was posted to Germany at the time, a...Your right, I was posted to Germany at the time, and had a small room in the cellar. I'm in Cyprus now and don't even have that! <br /><br />Painting 6mm can be difficult, but I think the secret is "less is more", and over exaggerate highlights to make em pop.<br /><br />SteveStig of the Dumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545185294092527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-86103035722449467822014-01-29T16:38:03.152+00:002014-01-29T16:38:03.152+00:00Thanks gents for posting comments.

I need to get better at the 6mm painting technique and maybe the evolution of that will come out in the later posts. Steve, I enjoyed your 'notice board' and envisage something similar myself. From memory I think you were posting some 'small gaming' posts a couple of years ago ( overseas?) which I enjoyed.<br /><br />Chris, I hope I can write something that brings people in who fancy a dabble. I will be doing each monthly update partly from the perspective of a new player, just so the posts can reach out to the widest audience. <br /><br />Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-8862108776062051322014-01-29T12:58:41.400+00:002014-01-29T12:58:41.400+00:00I have some minis, but never pulled the trigger on...I have some minis, but never pulled the trigger on painting / playing.

I have used the black primer/white dry brush technique for the small scale figures, but I use very dilute acrylic paint to effectively stain the white. It gives that vibrancy of colour that is needed with small scale figures, especially horses.<br />Good luck with the projectSteamingdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903135949421011390noreply@blogger.com
