Use a very fine brush and enamel is very useful for figures, at least for me. Oooo one more thing, steady hand!!!

for your first figures i give you a gold,there great very well done, :D

keep up the good work,

i keep about 3 or 4 good brushes just for face painting ,once a few hairs go astray there sacked, :oops: :rolleyes:

They're very good Dave, even more so if you used Tamiya acrylics to brush paint them!

I'd give them a wash just to add a little depth.

I used Vallejo acrylics and some artist stuff I have they are just blue tacked to the Tamiya pots for painting. When you say a wash what do you mean is it a very watery dirty colour?

Thanks Monica I normally leave them out of models as I'm a bit scared of doing them.

Perfect figures!

Yes, for a wash you must add a very thinned colour coat, better if it's darker than the one you have there

Wow, those figures are awesomeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Looking very good.

First I've heard about the salt chipping method. Another method to go read up about, thanks. Loving the little jeep, hows it coming along?
