I liked them. :D

How do you find repainting figures I've often thought about it but then just moved on.

Did you just reapply or remove and redo the whole thing.

I'd be interested to know.

thanks

well with this guy since he was already based i just re primed him (notice practically no loss of detail) and well, just re designed the paint scheme. he took one hour altogether excluding priming drying time and i just did 3 highlights for every part. so yeh. nothing special really....
does that help?

Thanks, you always worry about that loss of detail, but yours look good and only an hour to paint, crikey that is quick.
