Re: [Not-so-OT] Insane figure painters Re: [SG II}And speaking of Zombies

I found a cheap trick to use with Epic scale Orks. The eyes are pretty
deeply
recessed on them, with fairly exposed faces. I hit the eyes with a good
dab of
red. When I come back to do the green of the face, I dampbrush it on,
which
leaves the red in the eyes showing. Its not much more work than just
hitting the
face with green, and eyes on 6mm figures tends to scare people.
