Then I use a thin carefully applied glaze to shade, after I've done the lettering (and the foundation paints are obviously great for painting over black).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102290238629069459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556299501260543912.post-25231019405981831062010-05-06T19:14:51.872+01:002010-05-06T19:14:51.872+01:00Jc - I have considered that, but I'd like to b...Jc - I have considered that, but I'd like to be able to paint them on should I wish to.

For me my hand is a lot more stead at writing letters vs. painting them.jcroxfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116969213449181727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556299501260543912.post-44421615333495639462010-05-06T15:35:54.901+01:002010-05-06T15:35:54.901+01:00Jcroxford - Thanks, that's kinda what I was go...Jcroxford - Thanks, that's kinda what I was going for.<br /><br />Andy - Well, he hasn't been varnished yet, so he might look shiny. I'm also thinking the photos were a bit too bright to show off the details well.

I tried the start in the middle, I just need to practice more.<br /><br />Thanks for the advice.<br /><br />Noeste - Thanks. It was diluted, I might just have to be sure to wick more off the brush next time.<br /><br />Thanks guys.Kuffehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362276686961154685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556299501260543912.post-23593240530292527992010-05-06T09:00:30.533+01:002010-05-06T09:00:30.533+01:00He's turned out to be a great model.
Andy'...He's turned out to be a great model.<br /><br />Andy's advice regarding lettering are very sound, so next time heed his words, and I'm sure you'll get a result you're more happy with. Also remember to dilute your paint (if you don't already) when doing freehand, it's much easier to control.noestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406526666189312484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556299501260543912.post-87872910243139573752010-05-06T07:51:28.061+01:002010-05-06T07:51:28.061+01:00Great job mate!

If I had one criticism (more of an observation than criticism) is that it looks a little shiny - the dark and gritty paint job would benefit from a matte finish. I wouldn't change it now though.<br /><br />I don't if others have any better advice for lettering, but some things I've found that help are:<br /><br />a). Once you've put the lettering on, use the scroll background colour to "narrow" the letters - it seems easier to paint over the excess black, than it is to paint a thin line.<br /><br />b). Start with the middle letter(s) and work outwards<br /><br />Other than that, good work! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102290238629069459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556299501260543912.post-75478678266697639502010-05-06T05:29:50.487+01:002010-05-06T05:29:50.487+01:00Man, I really love the gritty look of this guy.
