I do use the Vallejo polyurethane primers as well (black and white so far) but that has mainly been for 28mm. For the 6mm ACW Union troops I did towards the end of 2011 I used Humbrol acrylic matt white spray which didn't seem to obscure any detail. When I do the rest I'll use it again, but possibly with a brown ink wash before applying paint.<br /><br />I've only done one ancients army so far - Sarmatians (and their successors) although I've still got a few more lancers to finish painting. I did make a start on a Scythian/Saka allied contingent but it got put to one side and needs to be restarted soon. I've also made a start on a late medieval Swiss army.<br /><br />Thanks for you observation. I think a lot of my stick-to-it-iveness and productivity is down to my only having been back gaming for a bit over a year and wanting to have armies to play with. Once I've got some completed for various eras I expect that I'll slow down.<br /><br />Wargaming Girlily yours,<br /><br />TamsinTamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-19362975947155822562013-01-23T15:48:48.207+00:002013-01-23T15:48:48.207+00:00Dear Tamsin,
Several questions. First, what color...Dear Tamsin,<br /><br />Several questions. First, what color gesso do you use since it does come in black, white and gray? I use Vallejo white primer but also have jars of gesso available for things like AFVs when I want the effect of black under painting without the effort. My second question relates to your collecting: have you done ancient armies? If so, what armies and scale?<br /><br />Lastly, an observation - it is very nice to see someone with your stick-to-itiveness and productivity. Oh, and you may want to use the extra fine primer spray for your 6mm figures - it does save detail.<br /><br />Curmudgeonly yours,<br /><br />The Celtice CurmudgeonCelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-22819747607173746672013-01-23T13:01:32.502+00:002013-01-23T13:01:32.502+00:00Your being very productive Tamsin, nice work.Your being very productive Tamsin, nice work.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-83386146272574431982013-01-23T09:24:16.903+00:002013-01-23T09:24:16.903+00:00the skirmishers are indeed the way to go ;)the skirmishers are indeed the way to go ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008048607697753233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-75553678146286742492013-01-23T08:40:04.315+00:002013-01-23T08:40:04.315+00:00co-WORKER, now that is funny ;-)

When I get round to finishing my 6mm ACW starter armies they will be spray-primed. My flat is on the 2nd floor (US = 3rd storey) so I have to do spraying indoors which isn't particularly nice in the winter :(<br /><br />@ Fran - it's not me that needs to slow down, it's that co-worker of yours! ;)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-22093887636967409792013-01-23T05:44:30.991+00:002013-01-23T05:44:30.991+00:00Very productive....slow down....take a rest.Very productive....slow down....take a rest.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-28552815789490144192013-01-23T05:32:58.305+00:002013-01-23T05:32:58.305+00:00Nice work Tamsin!Nice work Tamsin!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-78154570008044364962013-01-23T01:24:11.189+00:002013-01-23T01:24:11.189+00:00great stuff, do you always use brush on primer the...great stuff, do you always use brush on primer then?<br />Peace JamesJames Brewertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792196222970349737noreply@blogger.com
