Hi guys,

Anyone got any tips / links for painting hair and beards on 1/35 figures?
Cheers,

John.

Would this work if the detail is not very pronounced?

I assume you dry brush highlights using a paler shade of the chosen hair colour?

Yeah should work fine dude.

Can always add a wash after to shade the shadows back if you go over.
