Just finished painting up these little gems made by Tim Mee toys in the US. As its the Holiday Season, a time when most of us can spend some quality time with our families, I thought these were appropriate. Impossible to buy here in the UK I had some relatives bring them back for me from a US trip.
I hope you all had a great Christmas and here's wishing a very happy and prosperous 2016 to everyone here on Treefrog.

If you don't mind Mike, could you tell me what brand of paint you use, size of brush and the shades of flesh you usually combine? I like the colors specially of your flesh tones and the way the shades and highlights are done. Excellent job as always!

I use Vallejo acrylics, using a combination of brush sizes, mainly a 0, and 2/00 for faces. Flesh colours as:- Dwarf skin, then a fleshtone wash with basic skintone for highlights. There a some other combinations such as Vallejo shadow flesh, base flesh and highlight flesh from the Panzer aces range which give a similar effect.

Thanks Mike. I use Vallejo too. To me they give the best value for money so far from the paints I've tried. I used to have GW paints but they've just priced themselves out of my budget plus their paint pots always dry up on me. I will try your color choices and hopefully come as near as I can from your nice paint jobs! Cheers!
