One of the first thing I do after assembly and cleaning up, is to glue the figures on to something. They are so small than when handeling, there is a risk of rubbing off the paint with your fingers.

As can be seen its a mix of materials, from left to right is a CMK resin figure, then 2 Preiser in plastic and last 2 figures from Andrea in white metal.

Thanks for the info, we need more of that here. I agree about the scale. I used to paint the larger 25mm figures for wargames back I Te Day (about 27 years ago!), and haven't done much since. I used the black undercoat too, being so small if helps with shading and depth as you add thin layers on top. You've got a realistic looking clothing/paint effect, very nice.
