Hi, yes I did paint these soldiers myself. I have been selling on ebay off and on for about 5 years. I have been painting for about 15 years off and on. I am working on some French and Indian War figures right now. I am using Gameshop paints. These are made for wargaming and they are water based. They are real smooth and the paint in the cans don't dry up like Hummel paints. Also since they are water based there is no chemical smell. Once the paint is dried, it is waterproof. The lids on the cans are easy to open and to close. I don't have worry about the lids getting stuck to the cans like Hummel paints or Polly. I use a matt finish to seal the paint and this adds some shading to the figures(finish was added after pictures). Thanks, for reading.
