@sundancer no worries mate, besides I’m no fun with alcohol anyways so it’s better for all of us.

1st attempt at using contrast paint (Gryphound orange) on a mini I had primed in uniform gray.

The good :

  • good coverage with a single coat of paint, much better than the lava orange from army painter

The bad :

  • it looks ‘brown’ instead of orange, but that’s due to the uniform gray undercoat.
    It is however more ‘orange’ than the fur brown in the army painter range
  • it doesn’t show ‘contrast’, but I suspect it was because (1) my brush was too small and (2) I didn’t have a smooth undercoat

Note : first photo is contrast only. second photo shows a group shot with a ‘completed’ version using army painter and one with a single base coat of lava orange.

The contrast paint does look more orange in the photo.

Lessons learned :

  • I may need a bigger brush (biggest one is ‘army painter regimental size’)
  • definitely undercoat in white or a bright colour
