This is a miniature I've used to represent a female Bretonnian Lord / Paladin named Princess Bellefleur, the Duchess of Brionne. I wasn't at all happy with my first attempt at painting the armour of this miniatures, even though I originally wanted her armour to look used and worn. By using only a dry-brushing technique, the final result looked grainy and overall pretty bad, due to two main reasons: 1. The surface of the metal casting was pretty rough, and so my dry-brushing technique showed up every pit and flaw. 2. I used too thick a mix of paint with which to dry-brush the metal finish. So I resorted to some drastic action. Firstly, I stripped all the paint off the miniature using brush restorer, after which I washed the miniature thoroughly with warm soapy water, and scrubbed off any remaining paint with an old toothbrush and an old dental flossing mini-brush for the difficult recesses. I’m now really pleased with the finished result. I’m also pleased with the photographs I managed to produce of the finished miniature.
