Help needed

Postby skywalker » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:07 pm

I have just bought some very nice 15mm buildings from Warbases. They are laser cut MDF with very nice brickwork. Anybody out there got any hints and tips on how to paint them as I dont want to botch them up.
If you go onto the warbaes site
http://www.warbases.co.uk/#/vbcw-buildings/4540503237

The top 3 are the buildings I got made but Martin made them for me in 15mm not 28mm as shown.

Any help/tip would be appreciated.

Not something I know about but a quick google threw up this

(basically sealing the edges to stop it swelling from moisture in the paint is the biggest thing)
Hope it helps.

Thanks KMB, I will give it a try on some scrap bits first to see if I can do it right before comitting to the buildings.
