Thereīs individual pics on the blog but that pic above is about as "Close up" as they get.

Prep..as in base painting?
Thereīs this great acrylic paint made by Marabu..it says on the label

"for Wood, paper, polystyrene, pottery, metal etc. Weather proof and saliva proof"

. So if anyone wants to lick thier painted figs, this is the paint for them.  

I use black for basing, straight from the bottle and nope, I donīt bother to wash them before painting..thatīs way too much effort. 
Recently I tried to remove the paint from a fig..nothing shifted it, all the usual methods..and some slightly "creative" ones, Oven cleaner, nailvarnish remover, toilet cleaner, brakefluid, Petrol,  heating the fig up in boiling water then dropping it into ice water, and freezing it and dropping it into boiling water and and and.. It ended up like being part of some sort of mad scientist experiment but it didnīt budge the paint, it was "sealed" into the plastic. I tried finally to scratch the paint off but it only ruined the surface of the fig so it got binned.
I can bend the figs..(the soft plastic ones..in fact the nags in the pic have since taking the photos, had the slight tip corrected by bending the legs and no harm done) it doesnīt peel or flake ..on a car journey some 200 figs got loose in thier Box and happily mixed themselves into a tangled heap, the only damage..one rider had been dismounted. The only enemy is dust..but thatīs ok as they live in storage boxes or vitrines.

The top coats are also Marabu/hobbyline (similar to Marabu) with a drop of washing up liquid in the mixing water and some  P3...

They are absolutely fantastic. I couldn't believe it when I realised they are 1/72 scale. Stunning
I had a look at your blog and the massed cavalry picture is amazing. That's how i imagine medieval Knights should look
Very very good

This lot, added to my other late medieval cavalry adds up  to roughly half the amount in the  "massed cavalry" pic...
Iīve got 300 plus medieval cavalry figs...the weird Thing, I really like the look of massed cavalry but really donīt like painting nags
