  Painting White
Michael T. Wei Na

Painting white over black is probably the most difficult colour to make look good. Some people believe that it is best to start off with white. However with a black undercoat, the miniature will have a more solid feel to it. The other colours on the miniature also tend to favour a black undercoat.

I have selected an Apothecary to demonstrate painting white. The technique used here can  be easily applied to any miniature.

Stage 1

First start with a black undercoat spray. Keep the can at a fair distance of 20mm away from the model. Too close and the paint will run obscuring the detail. However too far and you will get an orange peel effect. The paint dries before it hits the model. This causes a bobble texture.

Stage 2

Once the spray paint is dry you can move to the base coat. Mix a little washing up liquid with a watered down black paint. Coat the entire model with it. This gives a better surface to paint and covers any areas left out while spraying.

Stage 3

White does not cover very well. Therefore I suggest using a shadow grey base coat pictured to the left. Leave areas you want black for example the lines between the armour. Try to keep the paint as thin as possible.
