Thanks all I was quite surprised to see the thread resurrected it threw me a bit .

      Loving the figures I have just bought some Boot Hill Mexicans could I ask which paints you have used especially the blue

Thanks
Steve

Steve the blue in these particular photos is the deep blue triad number 20 from Foundry, though these were painted a little while back.
My go to dark blue now is another Foundry triad number 111 Union blue a darker colour, whichever you decide to use they can both be used straight from the pot.

What really finishes them off though is a couple of coats of this varnish, I cannot sing its praises enough
