Janco Toys Forum

Well the day has finally come that I've put paint on one of my toy soldiers. Not much to look at so far but hey it's a start. Hopefully posting on here will keep me motivated (and I totally wont use painting as a way of procrastinating from doing revision, nope )



Need to look at the rest of 'em and see what colours I'm missing so I can give my trained monkey a list and cash to put an order in with Colin, honestly it's such a pain living over here I think I'm going to move into the skips round the back of Asda so I can come round more

Should try living down here...

Looks a decent choice of colours though, what's the blue? Looks like it could be a good highlight for something I'm working on

And hark at you painting base colours neatly

The blues a mix of ultramarine blue and sombre grey I knocked up I'm afraid

Fair enough, I find the colour blue something to be afraid of as well

Have a bag of empty dropper bottles here so mixing highlight colours is easy enough, just lazy enough to prefer off the shelf

Haha, I prefer off the shelf too but I think my card just wouldn't appreciate me walking in and grabbing one of everything

Small car with a small boot is the cure, has saved me a fortune at ikea.
