Extremely detailed and tiny painting, even the faces are visible and expresive.
Congratulations, but is this oil or acrylic ??

I paint with Humbrol and oil. Unfortunately, Humbrol disappears from the market. I bought a can of Revell a week ago, but haven't tried it yet. More than 90% of my paint is in oil.

Thank you Bernt.
You painted so tiny in the details, I was'nt sure.


Same for me, quality changed for the enamel, I have not tried Revell yet.  I had one vendor for Humbrol; i should build stock as they can be stored as long as not opened...
They seem to have a better mechanical resistance than acrylic as undercoat for oil, but I pfe-colour with acrylic for large flats or to pre-shade (kaind of grisaille)... with Peynes grey (cold) or Umber Earth/or Burned Sienna Earth (warm)..

Beautiful work!  Very scale appropriate--looks right!  Thank you for sharing.
