I’ve been painting miniature models for at least ten years now. War gaming acrylic paint prices have skyrocketed over the years and the contents are getting lesser and lesser. I’m always tempted to buy cheaper craft acrylics to paint my miniature models. The question is will it give a similar quality finish as compared the more expensive counterparts?
The art of painting using non-metallic paint was invented in the olden days to represent metallic objects in canvas paintings. Since metallic paints were not invented yet, artists utilize this technique to achieve the illusion of metal colors. This old painting technique have recently been revived once again in airbrush painting and more recently in the form of miniature painting for war-gaming figures.
Expand the usage of your war-gaming miniatures by making minor conversions to them and making them usable for different war-gaming scenarios and dioramas.
