Mil - Captain and his gunners

This article was published Apr 13, 2020.

Today I painted these gunners carrying buckets and another officer on horse. They look nice painted, but what really makes them pop is the wash afterwards showing all shadows and wrinkles in the cloth. It is easy to overdo the wash, so I always dilute it a lot so I can make many layers instead until I am satisfied. This time I managed to get it right first time, but not always so.

A note about the resin I use here, the new Elegoo washable resin. Yes, it is very brittle .... only two of five gunners have there rammers intact, the others only a little stick to hold on to.. They did brake either directly during print, during removal of the supports, or even during painting...

428230 -- halfway painted
