Part 8: painting highland division
Before painting the miniature it was glued to a 3mm thick 28mm mdf round base. This base was then given a coat of pva and then dipped in sand.
The miniature was primed with army painter leather brown. This is available in a spray can or bottle.
I used an airbrush for this first stage.
