6mm painting

The joy of 6 is in the mass, not the detail.




The entire French army for the Froeschwiller scenario in BBB.

I think you're right, actually, you could apply that thinking to any scale.

Not going to overthink this one; who is going to look at the paint-job on a 6mm German rifleman?

That IS rather impressive !

Oops!

Yeah, cracking job Leman.

Hope mine come close.

[Ithoriel]

Those are really nice!

[Leman]

Very, very nice. A future 10mm project for me.

[Bodvoc]

Very nice.

[Fenton]

Lovely Ken

Never liked doing Irregular armies as it takes too long to make them all look individual, but you have a got a great look

Wouldn't have a piccie would you?   

Here are a couple of picces taken at our Nationals back in 2007





Can't see the eagles as infantry taken from behind but you can see the white eagle on a red background on the T34/85s

These days with tanks & moderns I under coat in a primer that's close to te shade I want, detail (not much - headlights, camo, exhaust, flesh/weapon on infantry) then wash down/dry brush up to hit the appropriate colour I want - generally a bit lighter than "reality" so it pops a bit in six mm.

Very quick, looks good en masse. Nice bit of basing and it's golden.

For some Irregular late Romans I've been slowly finishing I actuall just went went under coat, pick out flesh, weapons, shield, cloak or tunic or armour and wash down with GW Reiskland flesh. Ten mins a block if that, and once based up they look pretty funky at wargaming distance!

Thanks Paul; they're fantastic 

Pixie,  I think you've about summed it up for me; they are 6mm.  I'm not going to be painting eyebrows

I'm lazy; I spray prime the uniform color, then hit the weapons and boots, then hands and face.  Stick a lot of them out there and no one will notice

V/R,
Jack
