This is the second part of the series dedicated to slow and inefficient (quite fun though) brush painting of tiny 1/100 scale tanks. In the first part we set up a foundation for the colour modulation effect. This time we are going to talk a little about painting tactical markings and doing freehands on miniatures in general.
