Chicago Skirmish Wargames

So many troops, that would take me eons. Looking good so far. That sand mix does come out nice. The brand of floor finish I use is Holloway House Quick Shine floor finish, since I can't seem to find future near me, it's cheap. Works great as a wash, but leaves things glossy. (I believe it's just an acrylic medium anyway.) I matte varnish as an endpoint so it doesn't matter much.

For metal paints, I swear by these:

I think when I bought mine they were on clearance for $5, but I was pretty amazed. Their airbrush application is pretty magical, and they work well on a brush. Two words: USEABLE GOLD!

Thanks,
These guys are coming out even faster than usual, because I know if I slow down I'll lose enthusiasm for the project. Dipped the whole army this weekend. Will have another blog up soon when they are all done.

Cool paints. A nice gold does sound intriguing. As for future, I think it's now called "Pledge" with "with future clear" in smaller letters or something like that. I'll keep an eye out for Holloway though I've got a long way to go before I'll use up the bottle I have.

Let me know if you want some sand mix and I'll bring it to the next game you attend. Still got quite a few pounds of the stuff.

These are looking really good, Karl.
