So my first time painting 15mm. When painting 28mm I like working in triads for simplicity and I think it works even better with 15mm. Test color scheme and basing for my UNSC force. wynnstudio  |

Wow! these look really great! Love the white scheme and the bases! How did you do those bases? Thanks! I try to make things as complicated as possible  I wanted some bases to look like concrete/city streets. See attached pic - I make the bases out of styrene, two layers 1mm and .5mm. Top layer is 1mm and very close to the thickness of the metal base. I then use water thin super glue and cover the top of the figure base and styrene, taking care to avoid the feet. I use a tooth pick to push the glue around evenly. Once I'm happy I spray it with kicker. The glue fills in the gaps and the kicker causes the glue to craze, giving it texture. Hope that make sense wynnstudio  |

Awesome... thanks for the pictures How do you make the styrene in a perfect circle, and how do you cut the top layer? |

I have unsc too but I think it's safe to say you did a better paint job. Great scheme I love it. I need to re-paint mine, the paint keeps scratching off so they're in need of some maintenance. Can't wait to see any vehicle paint schemes!

I like it! You're making me rethink how I've painted some white armor troops. Good job
