Pickles Painted Conte GIs

Post by Col.Pickle » Fri Aug 03, 2007 10:33 am

Okay a while back I bought 29 Conte Plastic GIs on eBay. They were quite plain in all grey so I decided to paint them. And so what you see here is the results of my second attempt ever at painting figures. I apologize for the atrocious pics but the gloss finish I put on them really reflects the flash. More pics will be posted after my relatives leave from our house (Sunday). All 33 (!) of them are staying at our house so I don't think I'll have alotta time to take pictures.
