Cheers Andy. Glad you like them. Production line sort of sums it up. I always think of it as “it’s Tuesday so I’m painting trousers” . It’s the most efficient way to paint them. More time is usually taken changing colours than painting the figure after all :tongue-out3:

I use the same method on my wee krauts.......I try to do as many at once as is feasible, Usually six to eight minimum.

Hi Paul
Cheers mate. Stripes loons are actually quite easy, it’s all down the getting the paint consistency right…..
Ron’s chopper is just Vallejo metallics brush painted, steel basic and a brighter one for edge highlights. The golds and brasses are Dark star metallics. The Vallejo gold and copper coloured metals are pretty poor compared to the silvers.

I've seen YouTuber Miniac rating Scale 75 Metal n' Alchemy golds, and AK 3rd Gen silvers. The silvers in particular look good, as they don't split up. I'm going to be spending some money at Scale Model World, methinks!

I’ve not found the Vallejo metallics split either. In fact, they handle just like regular paint, and can be mixed with normal paint in the same way. I like the gold and copper colours of the Darkstars. They have a much bigger range than most of the others. Not tried scale 75, MnA, or AK paints so can’t comment. Interested to find out how you get on with them though.

The only way to go Rick. With 15mm figures (closer to yours in scale) I usually set up thirty figures on popsicle stick stands and use related colours randomly on the uniforms (half a dozen or so at a time) to get a little variation in. On 28s I paint six to eight at a time, varying each batch. For character figures like these I paint them pretty much individually apart from basic colours like skin, armour and boots/leatherwork.
