Introduction
This class covers techniques and tricks to help you get more done, faster. The goal of this class is to create a full 10 mm base within the class time. Discussions will include planning your work, workspace efficiency, creating tools, and painting effectively. The student will receive a base of Napoleonic Austrian infantry to take home as a model for continuing in this style of painting. This class is sponsored by The Wargaming Company. Our reference uniform, the 41st Kottulinsky Infantry.
