Hello everyone, sorry there's been no updates but I got thrown one of life's curveballs since starting this which has meant changes and that has meant bench time has gone down to near nothing. I got some spare time today and decided that whatever I do I will post anyway. A day on the RE.8 would probably show little difference so I hit the figures.
I have probably painted too many Camel Corpse figures and definitely not enough Arab Revolt figures and the camels, though partially done, are not worth showing at this moment. I haven't painted soft plastic figures for a while and it has it's challenges. It is too bendy so handling them meant the paint kept flaking off. To prevent any more of this I stuck drill bits up their bottoms and they behaved themselves then. Cutting the flash off and trimming them was difficult because anything less than a surgical blade left bits hanging off them and they were hard to clean off. Although that was what I used a heated needle also worked well. Of course a file is out the question because it just turns the plastic into fluff. These were all hand painted white then once dry all the colours went on. I finished up by putting washes over them (basically the same colour as what's to be covered but darker). And here they are!
