A couple people asked me for some details on the the paints I used on my Galleon so I'm putting together a "rough guide" for painting this big ship. This isn't a super detailed guide since I didn't take notes or appropriate pictures as I worked on it over the last few months but I … Continue reading Galleon Painting Guide
