  4. The flocking material is "ballast brown" from Noch. They've discontinued it, and I had to do some serious scrounging to get what I have on hand.

  5. Hi Scott,

    I have been painting some Crusader Republican Romans. Yesterday, when attempting to paint some white shields, I found the coverage to be very poor even with the much ballyhooed Vallejo Model Colors. How are you able to get such bright, solid coverage with your white, especially when using craft paints?

  6. Ron, I don't water my paints down at all. I also tend to use off whites rather than straight white. Moat of the whites you see here are Magnolia White or Eggshell White.

  10. Brilliant colors, and I like the Numidian shield designs you did (nice change from the standard plain hide).
