I really fancied painting something different today so broke out a couple of figures from Pig Iron Productions.
These are the test models so I can see what works and pick colours.
Rather than spend hours trying to come up with a colour scheme, I went on Pinterest and scrolled through some designs.
After finding one I liked I set to work matching up paints to the image. Working from your phone is a pain as the image keeps closing.
I think these figures are a little different to what I would normally turn out so the reference trick worked. They seem more colourful and adventurous. Pinterest is a great source of inspiration, especially for sci-fi matters.
These have had a glossy coat of Kleer floor varnish, so will be Matt varnished tomorrow. There are a few things I will do differently on the next batch that will really simplify the process.
Update: I have a go at getting the camouflage closet to the image.
Update: The rest of the squad fall in complete with heavy weapon.
They are a breeze now the colour scheme has been worked out.

I like them, nice orange spot colour too! I have lots of time for Pig Iron, their design style takes paint well and the chunky gear appeals to my grimy sci fi aesthetic. Haven’t tried any of their newer stuff tho, their b/w site photos these days are tad uninspiring.
