Hardy,
Wich space of time you do from each other step of coats, highlights and shadows?

 

[Hardy]

Hi Carlo. I usually wait a day before I re-highlight and shadow. Hope this helps. Hardy

Hardy,
I may missed it somewhere, but what type of black primer do you use?

Hi Hardy

it looks great, is that a flag I see at his feet?

 

[Hardy]

Hi John mate. Not a flag, just some tape to keep the base steady whilst painting.

Hardy - your figures are awesome. I continually follow your work with lots of admiration.I eally like what you have done with this one. I am also curious as to what black primer you use. You must hand brush it on, I assume?

Thanks

Brad,
I want to know the same about the black primer.
Rocky

 

[Hardy]

Hi Brad and Rocky. The primer I use is matt humbrol enamel, I usually give the figure 3 coats allowing drying time between each. Your right the coats are brushed on, hope this helps. Hardy

 

[Brad S]

Hardy - thank you very much. I was kind of thinking it was humbrol. I have been wanting to try this method myself (black primer).

thanks
Brad

 

[Hardy]

All finished now and onto the next. Still need to tweak it in a few places though.
