The look Splendid forming up behind your guns. I guess they are all rather short sited being so spaced against the dark light!<br /> Old Dutch Painter Style Perhaps?

The method I use is a simple three colour-three layer one..it does not look too bad and can be done at Speed, 10 bods in a couple of hours..the airfix ones..maybe 15-20 an hour. For more accurate painting I use another method but that´s more complicated. <br />Maybe I´ll make a blog post about the "speed" method one day ;-) Paul´s Bodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698894821198907112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-30461196042282969632016-11-16T09:19:59.320-08:002016-11-16T09:19:59.320-08:00I have some of these bods, and their pose quality ...I have some of these bods, and their pose quality seemed inferior to the newer releases from other companies. However, your painting gave them so much life, they look stunning. Great job as always, I wish you make some youtube instruction videos on figure painting :).Arsovski Todorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529181357600416633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-54488906263437677632016-11-13T08:17:36.431-08:002016-11-13T08:17:36.431-08:00Thanks John.

I did think about using them but then I made them over 35 years ago, I think they were meant to be taking cover behind a wall along with a bunch of kneeling riflemen,. Eventually Nostalgia got the upperhand and it is old School after all ;-)Paul´s Bodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698894821198907112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-26738983583189727182016-11-13T06:05:09.099-08:002016-11-13T06:05:09.099-08:00Those old figures hold paint really well!
