Hi Alan,
it’s a long standing joke between Gary (Redcap) and Keith (Tecumsea) that I have sourced a secret supply of detail decals to do stripes and freehand patterns etc. for 54mm models. I’m keeping shtum because I don’t want the little people from outer miniataurus to have their identity discovered. Oops I’ve just gone and done it. Seriously it’s all about brushes and concentration. Funnily enough on another thread started by Del, he asked about brushes and what type people used. For many years I have been a fervent advocate of W&N series 7, but recently when my latest 000 became past its best I thought I’d dig out some brushes I bought at Figureworld about 5 years ago from “The Brushman”. Well what a revelation, extremely fine points capable of painting the tiniest of details. I’m of the view that once you get to size 1 any old brush will do because I generally use these for colour blocking but when you get down to below size 0, that is when you need to use a seriously good brush. Can’t praise these brushes enough, I haven’t used them long enough to comment about longevity, but if I get the results I want and it works out at a brush per figure, I think that’s a price worth paying.

Errr, what's that about 'pinstripe figure decals'? Or am I missing a joke here?......
