Painting and Finishing Trumpeter Figures

Each figure set includes multiple poses and detailed equipment that reward careful painting and finishing.

Use washes to bring out sculpted details, dry brushing to highlight raised areas, and careful color modulation to create realistic fabric and leather textures. The separate weapons and equipment allow for sub-assembly painting before final attachment, ensuring you can reach all surfaces for proper finishing.
