Thanks for the great reply! I am hoping to add decals to each as well, so thanks for that tip too. Sounds like I definitely do need to do a bit more homework on this before I get started. I want to do it right!
HBG Russian set painted
-
Ive been painting units for a couple of years. I prob painted hundrends if not thousands, I like to buy and collect every plastic miniature set thats out there, like a lot of you do. I just finished painting the last Russian set from HBG. Im in no way professional, and I choose quantity over quality. I still try to put some detail into it but Im not going too crazy. I hope you enjoy them, some of the members here have been an influence on me. I used oil based paints for a long time but I used water based paints for half of the set, after reading other ppl experiences. The results were amazing, a lot easier to work, drys a lot faster and the detail that leaves behind it was great. I purchased a mega paint set from Army painter and I was very satisfied with the product. The first pica are the inf, I used oil based colors on them. a little glossy but they look ok.

This is The Yak-6 transport plane, I used water based paints with a non glossy finish.

This is the Su-2 attk fighter, used water based paints on them too.

This inspires me. I would love to see how they would look all together as a set.

Very cool stuff Georgemek1! I love having my pieces painted up. Very time consuming, but rewarding in game.

REALLY REALLY nice Work!! From one perfectionist to (obviously) another, I know you are probably disappointed with the plastic color bleedthrough but I actually like it alot. It gives the pieces more depth and character. Wonderful job!!!

Very Nice!

Very cool. Which reminds me of something.
For those that are not painters (myself included), I think simple stickers could be made so we can just stick on our own minis. Much like what another company (name escapes me at the moment) does for Transformers. Very cool stuff.

Thats for you DWoodchuck. They are 10 sets of HBGs Russian set.
