Hi, here are some pictures of my painted mini's from my new VSF-project;
All the big vehicles and apes you can see on this post are based on squares of 7 by 7 cm made of 3mm hardboard. The smaller apes are based on 5 eurocents, still the cheapest way to base my mini's (suggestions are welcome).
The basecoat is a cheap hardwarepaint: a kind of very dark grey almost black. The paints used as highlight are Gamesworkshop paints: skull white and chaos black which are mixed together in several different proportions. I have used 3 highlights on the apes,...
The bases are coated with filler and textured with sand and PVA. The stands were then flocked with 2 sorts of flock; a light green and foliage/forest mix. The bigger bases were also decorated with plastic aquarium plants.
Finally some pictures,
The 3 apes on a row also with a British soldier. I have tried some eyes on the small apes but I don't like them very much however they are my first eyes and I really need to train the skill, ...

I hope you enjoyed the pictures stay tuned for more pictures and progress on this project,

I'm waiting for more treasures from the attic :)
I have those same little apes. The models don't have the most detail, but you did a nice job painting them.
Yes, Andrew, the little apes don't have any detail, they were a real horror to paint but I did my best.
And they were cheap(free :p) I prefered to paint some obelisk baboons or gorillas but they are a bit pricey for a students' budget :D.
Greets,
