Does anyone have any suggestions regarding painting the figures such as:

What to use for primer?

How to protect them after painting?

Somone suggested a mixture of 50% Elmer's glue and water to coat them after painting, has anyone tried that?

Hi!

Here's what I have done for mine (as well as for TOI's figs):

1. Soaked the figs in vinegar. Tossed and turn them so they'd be real clean. Rinsed with water.

2. Sprayed them with a grey acrylic color.

3. Painted them with acrylics. (I use brushes only. No spray, no air brush.)

4. Varnished the figs, two coats. I used Liquitex Matte Varnish. The varnish looks really protective and gives a cool finish to the figs.

Thank you MB,

Is there any chance you could post a picture or two? Does the varnish harden the figures?

The varnish doesn't harden the figs, really.

Here are some pictures.

Great job, they do look fantastic!

Thanks MB, they do look great and accurate too!

Hi Guys !

Here are some pics from my figs.
