In my last post, in which I talked about shading Etherfields miniature figures, I ended by saying that I’d have to wait until the the weather got warmer and dryer before I could go outdoors and spray-varnish the minis.

Then I discovered a varnish made for airbrushes. I applied four light coats to each mini, spaced at least 30 minutes apart, then waited an entire week for everything to cure. It’s time to put the minis back in the Etherfields box, waiting until I can play the game.

Take another look at the picture of the larger miniatures. Examine the pale blue figure. Look at the loopy section on the lower right. The paint did not fully cover that bit of the miniature.

That’s not the only one that I discovered was not fully painted. The annoying part is that I didn’t spot any of these mistakes until I actually put the miniatures in the boxes. With all the checking, handling, painting, and varnishing, I completely overlooked them.

My decision: Leave it for now. Within a month I’ll be painting the miniature for Tainted Grail. I may fix those problems then… or maybe not.

My conscience demands that I mention that I get a tiny pittance if you click on the Amazon product links and purchase something through them.
