A reminder the unit looked like before starting.
A close up of one of the figures before his bleach bath to strip the layers of paint and varnish. I had an interesting painting style back in the early 70s. I was about 14/15 at the time.
I have used a black undercoat. I then use off white paint leaving black around the belts etc. I will tidy up the black with acrylic ink and then finish with a full white as a highlight.

Reminds me of the old joke, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: Practice, practice, practice!" You have come a long way since you were a teenager. Those are some stout hearted fellows that, no doubt, will look very good on the tabletop!
You can't beat figures with a bit of history behind them , Tony
There's nowt so strange as the archaeology of one's own life. Wonderfully rejuvenated, Mark.

Well at least you attempted black lining in the 70s, which is more than I did. It's great to see these brave chaps being restored. I look forward to the completed unit.
