I have taken to sets of photos to show the flat colours before the wash, admittedly the Contrasts paints have already given the mini some depth and then the second photos are after the wash. To me, this is the difference between comic style strong colours and toned down more real-world colours. Each has their place and its great that it is so easy now to do.

Cheers for reading guys and happy hobbying everyone!
