First attempt suffered due to my impatience. Using the Strong tone, applied via brush:
Initial subject was a space marine based with GW Catachan Green, but I don't think I let the base coat dry sufficiently before applying the quickshade. I also forgot to shake the tin before using it, and didn't apply enough. After applying Dullcote to offset the glossy finish, there isn't really as much shading as I'd hoped for.
Next subject is another space marine, but this time based with GW Enchanted Blue (the colour I use for my Cygnar). I let the basecoat dry thoroughly this time, then gave the tin a good shake before applying the quickshade. Also applied a lot more, working it into the recesses with the brush. Looking better so far, I'll give it 24 hours then Dullcote it and see how it turns out.
I need to dig out another test subject that is more cloth/flesh based than armoured. I'm also starting to think that the Dark tone might be better for producing the effect I'm after on the space marines.
