Miniatures From The Art of Ian Miller
Starting the First Batch, Mostly Preparation
Rather than work on everything at once I thought I’d start on a handful of single piece models first. That way I’m more free to experiment on the simple models before I move onto the more complex models which will involve pinning and lots more glue.
So after cleanup and mixing the glue for the base I primed the miniatures white.
As it was far too cold to prime with a spray can outside I used two coats of Vallejo brush on primer.
I then covered everything with undiluted Nuln oil to get the pre-shading.
I then drybrushed everything with white to bring the models back and add contrast.
Thats the models prepared. I plan on using contrast paint, well thinned, and mostly as inks rather than for their contrasty powers to lay on translucent colour to try to reference Ian Miller’s style in his drawings.
