I only build 1/35 armour although when i first began modelling i did try a couple of dio's with figs but quickly gave up on it (they were not very good) and except for a couple of 1/16 dragon figs i did a couple of years ago i havent painted any since, i was messing around with my oil paints last week and decided to give these guys a go seeing as they had been sitting in my spares box for nearly a year and was a little supprised at the outcome, i know they could use a little improvement here and there but overall i think they turned out rather cool i am not ready to add them to my tanks yet but may build a small vignette for them and explore the figure painting a little more.



Opinions are welcome.

They look good Ron. How did you go about it? Did you prime them first?

Thanks guys, Pat i base coated the bodies in black and the skin areas in raw sienna acrylic craft paint then used oils for the rest i like oils for the work time they give to get everything blended and it is much more forgiving when removing mistakes and reworking them.
