Mini Painting!
ackblom12:
I'm only doing the initial armor coating thus far and I'm already excited about the next mini I'm planning on doing.
It's a cyborg gorilla with a minigun in place of a right hand. Think Barret, but a big fuck off gorilla.
GarandMarine:
I approve of this. How are the minis taking paint so far Ack? I've heard the Reaper Bones minis aren't the best about it and it's got me half considering bailing on this KS.

I washed mine first and used Army Painter brand black primer to start and it seems to have stuck wonderfully. I think most folks have said that as long as they're washed first it shouldn't be an issue. The biggest thing I've heard consistently with them is just the normal plastic mini issue of bending. But that can be fixed pretty easily with a bit of hot water, ice water and time.
I actually found a tutorial on the forums that goes into some detail about how the material takes various things such as filing and how the details hold up to thicker paints as well.

Edit: Also this one. http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48668-bones-preparation-glues-putties-mould-lines-etc/
I doubt you need the tutorial parts of it, but they both go into some good detail about how to handle the material.
Jace:
The cool thing about painting miniatures is that if you don't like how they look toss them into a bowl of simple green for ~24 hours and the paint comes off!
I painted a ship but I'm not happy with the colors so I tried a different scheme and I'm a bit happier with it. Only have like 30 more ships to paint then I will buy more.

Alright, just painted this goblin's hair blue because hey, it's a goblin.
Ultramarine Blue is one of the most boring blues I've ever seen.
