Basic colours added and these photos show how the dark blue tunic requires a second coat! This will be added whilst doing the touching up stage after the black cross belts etc have been painted.

The "messy phase" as I call it is over, that's the basic colour’s finished and as you can see I have not been that careful where the paint goes. I like to give the raised detail a good coat and then cut up to the raised edge with the second/touch up coat, so once the dark blue (for the tunic) and the pack/rolls have been adjusted this way they should look quite nice.

Well it's been nearly 5 months since I posted last and so I felt that it's time to put this thread to bed. Yes, at long last I've finished them! {sm3} There aren't any more in-progress photos but I will post a few pics next week of the finished figures.

Bet you the bases are "Blue"!

 

[aujj65]

Here we go then, blue bases with a very dark hint of green! :rolleyes2:

Nice figures to paint just a shame it took me so long to do. :redface2:

As Trooper said, "You can almost smell the garlic!!"
