Ill Fated.


I thought I'd start painting the 40mm Indians - and my black undercoat spray can ran out after one spurt !!!! Blast ! - so I've had to manually undercoat them - how retro , takes me back  20 odd years ago  before spray cans .

  1. Ah- the old spray can not enough paint left Trick! The other one is when the Nozzle is clogged - and the can is full of un-used paint. Look forward to seeing the finished product. KEV.

    2. I always save a spare nozzle or two from empty functioning cans for just this mishap.

  2. Funny, but I've never got on with spray cans....the last time I tried with a GW black undercoat, the paint dried greyish and pooled over the figure. Manually undercoating is very boring but I often find you get a chance to find un-noticed detail on the figure.

    1. I think you have to be organised (which I'm not) with spraying using a can and get lots of figures ready and done at once to maximise usage . Tony
