These little fellows are my latest painting creation. I have not painted plastic figures for over 15 years nor had I used the Army Painter system. But with a little extra time up my sleeve I decided to order two boxes of these great Perry Miniatures Plastic Sudanese Tribesman. Once I had put them together, which took quite some time, I hit them with the army painter brown spray. After letting the figures dry I then proceeded to paint on the basic details – weapons clothes extra, this process was the longest. After a few days of painting I then painted on the Dark Tone army painter varnish and let them dry for a day. The next step was were my limited experience with using this system let me down….I sprayed the matt varnish too close and thus many of the figures received a white coating of varnish. However after a little panic I just painted over the effected figures with Citadel Devlin Mud and they came up a treat. I have not painted any of the standard coloured patches on them as I prefer the earlier periods then the later. So please enjoy.
Excellent job! I've been using the Army painter system for certain periods for about 6 months now, and I find it is the best way to get large amounts of figures completed in a reasonable amount of time.
Your project is impressive, and I'll have to follow your lead and get my boxes completed (when they FINALLY arrive, that is!).
