Lester Bursley’s Wash Recipe and Tutorial (repost).

With a recent video from Midwinter Minis (who I usually enjoy) essentially reiterating Les Bursley’s medium recipe and disingeniously calling it “Midwinter Medium” without any acknowledgement or credit to Les (or that others might have done it first) I thought it appropriate to reblog this post from a couple of years ago – so apologies to those who have already seen this one….

Here’s a Wayback Machine link to Les’ original blog post, since the live one has now expired.

EVERYTHING BELOW THE LINE IS LESTER BURSLEY’S ORIGINAL CONTENT. NONE OF IT WAS WRITTEN BY MYSELF. FULL CREDIT TO LES FOR HIS WORK AND BEING WILLING TO SHARE HIS KNOWLEDGE WITH THE COMMUNITY.

This is a cut-and-paste repost of a post made by Lester Bursley on Dakka, back in 2009. Some of the links may no longer work, but all of the information therin is still relevant, and incredibly useful. While I do buy  range of commercial washes from Games Workshop, P3, vallejo and others, I also make my own using Les’ recipies and based off of Les’ recipies. I also keep a bunch of dropper bottles of ready made medium – just waiting on the ink for when I need to replace or make something new.

This is why I’ve reposted this today. I actually thought I had all of Les’ notes saved, and then could not find them…

First time trying to sell my painted stuff… Dark Angels for sale!

This morning I was checking out some of my fellow bloggers’ posts and found both that Túbal Villar – Virakotxa is selling some of his very nicely painted models on eBay – an entire Dark Angels force in fact – and that Ann had already signal-boosted the post – so I’m copying Ann and also doing the same.
So if you’re in the market for some Space Marines, especially of the Dark Angels variety then I’d recommend going and at least checking out the auction, especially as the starting bid is a *very* reasonable one…

Sad to a degree, but needed in the current situation… Both economical and space-wise…

A bit of old and a bit of new… Starting at 50€, it will be my way to measure the market, the interest, and worst case scenario, I could get the same unpainted stuff for more or less the same.

So if anyone is interested, or knows about anyone who might be, needless to say, it would be much appreciated if you share it. It is expected to end in seven days from today.

Whatever it happens… I’ll let you know.
