I must confess to being a retro painter but what do I exactly mean by this? Well in truth, I consider this to be the use of materials available to the painter and modeller contemporary with our favoured period 1985-1992.
Recently, there was a thread opened on the Blood Forum (started up by the enigmatic Masp) about the subject of retro painting, or 'archeaopainting' to use his terminology.
It seems that there are a fair few other oldhammering archaeologists out there too! Strangely, both Nigel Stillman and Rick Priestley were both archaeologists too - funny how digging and miniatures seem to have a longstanding relationship. I'm still fully trained and knowledgeable about the subject and I find that these influences find their way into my collecting and painting. Trouble is, archaeology is a fascinating but ultimately impovishering mistress so I gave it up and took up teaching instead. I used to draw finds, particularly lithics (that's stone tools for the rest of you) and ceramics. Kindly refer to the paint manufacturer's specific instructions for more information.Black and white advert from 1988 showing the range of paints (and their associated sets) Also, most manufacturer's don't recommend mixing different paint types together (lacquer with acrylic, lacquer with enamel etc) as it might affect the final paint.
