More than happy to oblige Roger.
I start by hot glueing each figure to a cut off bamboo barbecue skewer - chunky enough to hold a blob of glue and easy to hold and stick in a block of foam.
Once the figure is painted with its base colours over a white primer, I mix a slightly off-white shade of grey/blue (just the slightest hint of the grey or blue). Using a wide brush, with virtually all of the paint wiped off on a tissue, I very lightly dry-brush the whole figure. I can’t stress enough that the paint on the brush must be almost non-existent and brushed very, very lightly.
If it goes on a bit too heavy, then wipe the area of the figure with a dry finger - at this stage it will take most of the highlight off.
Finally, when dry give each figure a wash of very dilute black.
I know I have said it before, but I now use Vallejo paints for all my figure work and much of the weathering. The black wash is a thing called ‘dark tone’ from the Army Painter range. A few Railmatch colours have started to creep into stock recently as well.
Hope that helps.
