It's a tabletop RPG that me and a group of guys play on most saturday afternoons. The game is played with little pewter mechs that are moved around a hex board.
These pewter minis are a source of pride for us players; particularly their paint schemes. We all paint our own, and we come up with various techniques to paint them. Some players paint each panel separately; this is what I did with this mech.
However, this week I tried something totally different. Experimenting. Believe it or not, I dipped the minis in minwax after painting them. Yes minwax. The stain seeps into the crevices between the panels and helps give them definition. After a coat of matte finish, the paint scheme looked awesome. I did it on a full "lance," or group of four mechs.
