Most of the painting tutorials that I've found which claim to be simple are generally anything but that ("Learn to speed paint skeletons in only fifty simple steps!") so this is a refreshing change.<br /><br />I'm going to give this method a try the next time I paint a light colored large scale model.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271019299936673232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911586376639817574.post-25046288394038996062012-04-22T18:01:07.939-07:002012-04-22T18:01:07.939-07:00Thanks for the answer.

Primer with black and the light stuff doesn't work so well, but primer light and you're consigning yourself to covering most of a dark mini black anyway.<br /><br />I never thought of white-brushing to get that. I tend to black primer minis that are primarily dark, then paint a base coat or two of a darker but similar shade on top as a prep coat. Say for these minis I'm painting now - they are black-primered and then spray-painted black since they are just going to be gloss black at the end. But they have equipment that needed to be brown and light blue. So I base-coated dark brown and grey on them, respectively, before putting on brown and light blue. It seems to work, but I don't get that streaking effect you've highlighted.<br /><br />I'll give that a try. Thanks for the very complete answer.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.com
