To achieve this i used an old tooth brush and flicked white paint off it. This resulted in speckles of white that looks like stars.</div> <bR> <div> Get some Imperial ships painted by Merchant Prince or any others from our team. <A HREF="id81.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Price List"><U>Click here</U></A> for our price list.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id153.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Battlefleet Gothic"><U><<Back to Gothic</U></A></div> <bR> <div> This not answer your painting and modelling needs? <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>click here</U></A> to email us a <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>question</U></A>, or <A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Painting Guide"><U>here</U></A> to try another level of skill.</div> <bR> <div> Is there anything you would like to add or a section/technique you think should be added to the painting guide? why not send us an <A HREF="id335.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contributons"><U>email</U></A> about it.
