I read (on another forum) about the "dip" method: you take a painted person and dip it in whatever product you have that will get into the crevices to bring out the detail.
This guy is one of those fairly lousy K-Line figures that came to me un-painted. The jacket (brown) and pants (maroon) are actually 2 different colors, but the stain made them look almost the same:
The only thing I had on hand was some Minwax "Red Oak": I think it's too dark, and dries glossy. I gave this fellow (2) shots of Dullcote, and it'll still pretty shiny, but I think if I had some lighter stain, this technique just might work...(?)
