Just picked these up. I think they are a new release. The box is huge compared to the pieces…lol.
There is a lot of flash to clean up but they should look good when painted.!

Cool, be sure to show them when your done.

I feel like they lost a bit of detail once painted. They turned out ok. Did some a paratroopers.

@sjelso Looks like some inkwash and a quick drybrush will bring out those details.

@Field-marshall Agree, have not mastered that technique yet. Tried dipping some pieces but wasn’t that great.

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

@Field-marshall Cool, I will give it a try. TY

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?
Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.
I haven’t painted anything in years.
