However, it's quite straightforward, if a bit tedious, to paint a good *representation* of a tartan.<br /><br />I'm sure you'll find other recipes for this as well, but here's how I've done it in the past for 28mm figures:<br />1) Basecoat in the main colour<br />2) Paint broad(ish) horizontal and vertical stripes of the second most prominent colour.<br />3) Where the stripes intersect, fill in with a dot of a darker shade of the stripe colour. If you can make this dot square-ish then that's even better.<br />4) Paint thinner horizontal and vertical stripes in a suitable "accent" colour *between* the broader stripes.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-7831270131671428322014-07-30T04:48:51.609-07:002014-07-30T04:48:51.609-07:00They're as good as ever, I do like the contras...They're as good as ever, I do like the contrasting turbans, very effecitve.<br />The tartan will be a joy to paint, I'm sure, what could possibly go wrong ? - Looking forawrd to both the group shot and your rendition of my kilted neighbours. <br />Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-10307691821530113272014-07-30T03:04:33.427-07:002014-07-30T03:04:33.427-07:00I have to paint them so I will have to bite the bu...I have to paint them so I will have to bite the bullet and get on with it sooner rather than later.
