In a recent commission I was asked to paint not one but Two Tags, Scarface and a Szalamandra. I thought I would take the opportunity to do a walkthrough on how i paint these big boys to show that there is nothing to be frightened of. First step is priming. After washing and assembling i always spray an enamel primer on metal or resin minis, plastics I only use an acrylic primer.

Very Dredd especially the shoulde

I picked up a number of Pan Oceania Infinity miniatures off ebay just for the fun of painting them as a sort of busman's holiday and have painted them bit by bit.

Salam Alaikum. Today's effort is all about painting up some of the lovely Haqqislam minis from Red Veil. I have already done the Yu Jing and they are painted up here .... https://www.firstcommissionpainting.co.uk/galleries in the Sci Fi gallery - along with the rest of the Infinity stuff I've done.
