Thanks this inspires me to paint the BMC Iwo Jima set I have. I thought there were issues with painting regular plastic toy soldiers but it’s probably the primer that matters.
Good paint and chat Bill. At 74 I am still painting using a magnifier LED Lighted Headset. At this ripe old age I am very fortunate to be able to continue painting Epic (13mm) figures (Waterloo & ACW) and they come out to my satisfaction. Your figure came out well! Keep up the good work, have fun, and as always be well.
Hi, at the weekend I was playing against my 10 year old grandson using these figures. He's been painting 28mm and 54mm figures for a couple of years. I am quality control. He says " I am nine and you want me to be perfect".😀😂
Nice paint job, Bill. I do enjoy painting figures. The first figures I did were 25mm Roman, and the most recent ones were 25mm cowboys for RUTHLESS. Now I'm working on snotlings, over the course of time my painting has improved but most importantly as you say Bill have fun and it doesn't have to be perfect 😊
@@frankpreziosa2627 I mainly work with fantasy minis and have only recently started dipping my toes into the historical miniature pool but, yeah, I need to get these just to paint them
Hi Bill, sorry I have a Goober Calendar related question. I went to order one from Blue Panther but I saw unfortunately they don’t deliver to the UK. Is there a way I could order one to the UK? Thanks.
Since you went to the effort to paint several colors on the smock, why didn’t you go ahead and paint his trousers blue like shown on the box? You could have used the same blue that you used on the helmet. I don’t think this would have added much more time. (Yes, I know that you have some vision issues, which affect your painting. So I am not trying to be critical)

Great video well done brilliant 👍👍🤠🤠
Thank you just trying to help get people off the couch

These minis look like they would be super fun to paint I'm gonna have to get a set just to paint them for fun
They are fun to paint

Remember Bill the best painted figure is the one chasing the other figure off the table
@@frankpreziosa2627 that’s a great saying

@ thank you for checking with them Bill, I appreciate it and will keep my eyes out for next year.
@ thank you for asking
Excellant vidéo Bill

@@davidmarkley3015 very good idea
@@davidmarkley3015 I may try to paint the trousers
@@BillsWargameWorld Don't! Both they and the helmets were field gray - the Airfix box art is wrong.
@ thank you several others sent a note
Wow,
Paint from the inside out
@@frankpreziosa2627 goober said same thing
Another trick I do is save caps from soda bottles. I squirt a tiny bit of paint into them and after a work session just toss them.
@ great idea
There's better detailed figures to paint nowadays
@@IanPotts-lv6os this is about old 54mm games and time warp to war gaming in the 70s
