ESCI British 8th Army

[Kekso]

This is something I started last year and today I decided to finally finish them. Nothing special, it was made just for fun. I hope you like them.

Great job on these desert rats.

[Donald Duck]

Very good painting... in my opinion you can add some more shadows near the eyes, some faces look a little bit flat to me..

Anyway that's a really good job, keep on going

I like the tone of uniforms and painting, simple but accurate.

Thanks for your comments guys... I really appreciate it. I know I could do better but this was just something I wanted to finish and move on to next project.

I bought that set in the early 80s and have loved it ever since. You did a nice job with it. Will you give us a quick rundown of which paints and shades you used?

[Beano Boy]

Yes I like them all too. Very nicely painted.

[Mai Strac]

Great paintwork simply but very, very effective!!

@Bluefalchion. Sorry mate I painted them last year so I forgot what paints I used
I can only tell you for sure that I used following:
- Flat Flesh and Black from Vallejo Model Color, Fleshtone shade and Khaki from Vallejo Game Color and Dark Green from Revell. What else did I use I can't remember... Maybe Vallejo Panzer Aces New Wood and some metallic paint for guns

[Ragnar]

Very neat.

Great painted figures!

[German]

Good job men!
What kind of paint? Acryl? Enamel? Brand?
I have this Esci kit, is a medium plastic.
Thanks!

[Kekso]

Thank you German. I use Vallejo acrylics.

[German]

Do you use primer before paint? In that case... color? white, grey, black?
Thanks!

[Kekso]

I always use primer. Vallejo polyurethane primer, black or white... depends what kind of figures I paint. But I prefer black when I can. And I wash figures with soap and water before priming.
