For me it means I'm weaker on the darker colours with zombie stuff and need to work on getting more from them. I'll try out Doc's suggestions I think. <br />Thanks for the input everyone.:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-45745492760727014942011-02-15T13:38:31.708-08:002011-02-15T13:38:31.708-08:00I love the way you've painted the first zombie...I love the way you've painted the first zombie, from the nike stripe to the blood spatter pattern on the poor guys shirt.

Concerning the dark colours, I'd maybe stop thinking of solely blood and introduce some general dirt and grime. Dark patches, perhaps re-varnished in satin would create a fitting impression.<br /><br />I agree that you need to make the skin tones look a bit less healthy and I look forward to seeing how you will achieve it. These are just slightly "fresher" Zeds. :)<br /><br />@Paul<br /><br />If you can cope with brush on I can recommend the Daler Rowney soluble matte varnish. It's excellent as a "finisher" for that really matte look. Sadly not the sturdiest of them hence "finisher".The Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610421577798361733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-61913493816856369832011-02-14T13:50:21.342-08:002011-02-14T13:50:21.342-08:00Hi Paul,
If your looking for a really good solid ...Hi Paul,<br /><br />If your looking for a really good solid matt then Testors Dull coat is it. However, your problem sounds similar to what I use to have and is why I long ago switched to Citadel Purity seal in that it's not too dull and if applied correctly isn't shiny either giving you a nice flat. It offers better protection then a matt, but without the shine of a gloss. It should be applied in short bursts and at least a foot away from the miniature.Careful not to apply too much or it will shine. The nice thing about Purity Seal is if you over do it on accident you can always apply a matt over to dull it back down. ;-)<br /><br />I hope this helps.:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-84229180278275676962011-02-14T13:33:40.452-08:002011-02-14T13:33:40.452-08:00Hi Christopher,

I use 2 coats of Revell matt varnish and the 1st coat is really flat and the figures look very good. I wait 2 days and give it another coat and the finish is satin (and not as good as before). It is an ongoing problem my brother and I have had with varnish. I would like my troops matt and pick our the areas that will be satin myself.<br />Any help would be most appreciated!<br />Cheers<br />PaulPaulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-42011900827869867382011-02-14T13:20:12.280-08:002011-02-14T13:20:12.280-08:00Thanks guys!

Too bad they screwed up their survivor's with the overly big heads. However, I'm not worried as I'll be using the best survivors which are Hasselfree. All IMHO of course. :-)<br /><br />@Paul<br />I use Citadel Purity Seal. Do you have a particular question why so perhaps I can be of further assistance and offer some help if you wish or need it. :-)<br /><br />Cheers<br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-82697704217996129682011-02-14T12:40:34.944-08:002011-02-14T12:40:34.944-08:00Hi Christopher,
