Ah yes, but if my results are anything like your Knights of Dol-Amroth, then patience is certainly a virtue

And to Theobald, thank you for the advice….one thing is certain I will indeed take my time

Thank you all for your kind advice and encouragement.

My first will already have nice ‘blister-fresh’ undercoat so thinned black over that it shall be and where that takes me who knows….having said that, I’m now stuck as to which to paint first….mmmm…rarest, smallest, largest, mannish, orcish, something-else-ish….

Anyway, I will definitely post a pic when in progress and then when completed, but being (one of the) slowest painters in the world that may be anytime :rolleyes:

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

A further question if I may – Is the enamel to which you refer the standard model-painting enamel – such as ‘Humbrol’ ? and I have no familiarity with ‘Orange Terpene’ other than it’s made from pressed Orange Peel (I only have Bananas in my fruit bowl at the moment )….

Anyway, thanks for the advice – most welcome and helpful.

Hello all,

As one new to Mithrils, but an old hand at painting those from the dark-side! I would like to pose a quick question as to the best approach to undercoating. I like to work from black and would usually spray with a matt black car primer – touching up with thinned black acrylic to those underneath bits. As Mithrils (generally) are already undercoated will a further spray layer eliminate small details? I dare not experiment blindly on my first figure!

I apologise if there is a ‘Mithril Painting Beginners Guide’ somewhere I can’t locate, so any assistance would be much appreciated.
