I am not taking credit for these, this is a W.I.P from a friend of mine who loves painting Minis so my Royal Guards went for their paint job

Poor camera images but least you can see whats happening

Friend:

After using a craft knife and needle file to remove any mold lines, these miniatures get the usual white primer.

Primer Dry, I apply two coats of Cadmium Red acrylic paint.

Once the base coat was dry I mix 8 parts Cadmium Red ink to 1 part Ultramarine blue and apply generously over the entire model.....

TBC

First coats of basic highlighting and details are painted on.....

First coat of highlight applied and simple details are picked out, ready to be tidied up.....

Final highlights and shading applied to the gloves and the Royal Guard are now battle ready!!

Next in the line to get done are the Stormtroopers we spent a while other night going over the 'legacy' squads and the result will be interesting.

The new thread will no doubt take you on the journey.

P.S the guy who said use the 'loom' child bracelet making elastic bands to keep the cards segregated your a genius!

And with the use of my Nokia camera here is a better image of the Guards

Your IG have some pop! I like the red that you used on it. Mine are still in the process of the final touches, once I finish all my mini's. My first time painting miniatures and I do enjoy it...

My friend is a great painter, I just give him source material to use and he matches the paints and does the detailing, the Royal Guards are screen accurate
