Painting Gold Stripes, (Naval), and Buttons........

[Jeff T]

Hi all,

I'm currently doing Andrea's 90mm U-Boat Captain, and I am looking for any tips on painting the Gold Stripes on the Sleeves and the Gold Buttons.

I thought before I attacked it myself, I would see what techniques others use for painting these.

I will be using Oils and Enamels, I don't have any Printers Inks, and when I did try to buy some here in Sydney, they were very hard to get hold of, but if anyone does know of an easy source I would like to hear it.


Thanks guy's,

Cheers,
Jeff.

I just bought my printers inks from Military Miniatures Warehouse in the USA. Micheal Roberts in the USA also sells it. Both have websites and as a very tiny bit goes along ways, a $9 container will last a lifetime. Use the clear carrier from a tin of humbrol paints to mix it with and it goes on super thin a smooth.
