Painting glasses

[somegeezer 18431xp 1]

This has been a bugbear of mine for the longest time. I’ve never painted glasses well. Earlier I was window shopping more Silver Bayonet and noticed the Prussian team.

There are a couple of minis with glasses and a third with a monocle. The painter (I’d guess Kevin Dallimore) has done an amazing job with a jewel effect with the skin tones of the faces. I’ll be trying to emulate this next time I’m painting a mini with glasses.

If I paint without glasses I can’t see shit 😉

Sorry *g*

Good luck with making it happen

The idea is there. My execution will be … lacking

I’ll go one further @somegeezer here are close up picture for you, it’s not a gem effect it’s a reflected image of his eyes

Ah not Mr Dallimore (though his is ruddy marvellous too). I don’t have the Prussian Bayonet Crew but there’s a French Resistancist just there *points* I’ll try it on.

I’ve still got my Prussians to paint. I’ll have to have a think about this too. There’s always the jar of Dettol for when it goes badly wrong.
