This is the second painting Guide supporting the 6mm Charity project that has now started (you can read more about it in a previous blog here). There will be a total of 4 painting guides, covering Horse, Dragoons, Foot and Artillery of the Baccus Wars of the Sun King Range.
We will start this one at Step 5 – which is the painting stages (I highly recommend that you read Step 1 to 4 in the First painting guide as it covers some things that are important in preparing the miniatures and yourself for the challenge, a link is provided here).
Step 5 – the Painting (depending on how you access this you may just see one picture, but it is a slideshow with the steps)
Grey primer and black ink wash (diluted). This is the Siarus Artillery that has Straw uniforms. Paint facings red, socks and the officers hat (or silver). Also the wood on the artillery piece will be red (note this is the big Siege Gun and the painters in the charity project will be given smaller Field Guns). Skin colour, not too thick… Paint wood in light brown and some different browns for hari. Also some white to symbolise smoke. Belts in Buff colour Base in chocolate brown Gold on metal for the cannon or yellow (but gold looks excellent!) Add some Silver on top of the Cannon Ball. Wash the models
Let dry… Basing (which will not be done by the participants of the Charity Projects) is shown in Part 1.
Here is the final result



/ Hope that was of some interest
Looks great Per!
