Did you paing them as well or does the printing colour them? They are very good.

There are printers that will colour as you go but they are well outside my pay grade! All painted by my own trembling hand MG.

You have some patience. Painting 0 gauge figures is small enough. One single guy has eyes and pupils in his eyes, though slightly squint, though I did not do any more eyes! But yours look better than ready painted figures look in the shops.

Thank you MG (and others) - that’s the point, I aim for them to be better than the ready painted ones.
Early day’s but at some point there may be a live demonstration of this.

Thanks for the painting video - very helpful. Never thought I’d enjoy watching paint dry!
