There is only one way. Humbrol matt white, thinned with turps, sop it on with a large, cheap soft brush. All else is heresy and should be punished by a public stoning.

Thought Humbrol paints & white spirit went out with the Ark? I fix my 28mm figures to an old piece of 6mm MDF with white tack, the outdoor use type, and spray lightly outside with Double Acrylic white primer from the local Home & Motor store, £5 a can and does about 150ish figures.

I have a very particular set of skills honed from years of experience and when I find you I will cover you in thinned Humbrol black enamel.

Don't know about tarred and feathered but matted and flocked could be worse :o
