Antiqueing

Should you not wish to paint your figures using different colours you give them an antique finish.
  • Polish the pieces lightly with steel wool. Be carefull not to rub off any fine detail.

  • Paint the pieces with gloss black enamel like Molak, Humbrol. Let the paint soak in for five minutes.

  • Wipe off the paint with a cloth dampened with thinners. Leave the black in the folds of the piece according to your taste, then let the paint dry in the usual way.

If you are painting a chess set you can use the same method to create an aposing side by using paint of a different colour. Or painting a base colour such as gold and then antiqueing them with black.
