The figures were removed from the sprues.
A hot needle was used to remove the seam lines and any flash. (the needle/pin was attached to a soldering iron, this negates the use of a candle to keep heating up the pin).
A black acrylic undercoat was then applied by brush.
Acrylic undercoats seem to be more flexible than enamels and allow the plastic to move without the paint flaking - well that's the theory.
A white acrylic (Tamiya) was airbrushed from above in an attempt to create shadows.
These should make it look like darker areas when the paint is applied.

Martin was on with some 1/72 scale figures, so I thought, I might have a go at some. Eyesight notwithstanding.
I don't think I realised just how much smaller they are the the 28mm ones for wargamers.
I think the photo shows this.
1:72 is 4.233 mm to 1ft.
1/56 is 5l442 mm to 1ft.
So in 1/56 a 6ft man is 32.65mm and 25.398 in 1/72.
1/76 is about 4mm = 1ft.

Very good.
Did you build a drone in the past?

Interesting to see how you laid the brick pieces on the walls using Elmer's Glue.
Will look great when. Will you be doing all the surrounding walls around the farmhouse?

Working on it,
Howards Dregs now added to the remnants of Sir John Moore's Army.
Then probably some of the Chosen Men, yes Richard Sharpe and the 95th Rifles.
