I've never painted one before and am actually new to miniature painting entirely, so I'm approaching this with caution.

In fact letting some of the burnt areas come through gave the effect of shadow then just added a final highlight. I was worried about the card becoming saturated so again went slowly with this, building up layers. I left some areas untouched for wood, most notably the spooks of the wheels, but it was the lighter areas that caused most problems because of scorch marks coming through; again these was overcome by building up layers although looking back, I owner if a thin coat of PVA might have worked as a seal before painting?
