Great article, Guy.

Now, if only I had the patience...

Q.

I think you have more patience than you realize Quang, to sculpt the great figures that you do........give yourself some credit there.... My wife says I have zero patience......except when I sit down at my desk.......and then I have an abundance with the figures

Hello Again Ray,

I guess I followed you from Ren-Figs. I use humbrol enamels and drybrush this over the acrylic base color on the groundwork. Using 2 colors (as the article) or more with drybrushing does give you a slight blending of the colors as you drybrush wet over wet. humbrol takes about 4 to 6 hours to dry unless you speed the drying process up . I have never tried drybrushing wet tube oils on groundwork.

Guy,

Thanks for the article. Groundwork is the most neglected subject. And nothing can ruin a figure like bad groundwork.

very good article

I cant get these to open, any idea why?

Same here; the links are dead. But, it has been 8 years since they were first posted in the thread--so that may have something to do with it?

Aye, yes! They are indeed the old articles!

I'll dust them off and re publish them

Thanks gordy
