reKROOTed????

I saw these guys for sale on eBay a few weeks back.  They were assembled, primed, some were even painted.  I reprimed the ones that were painted.  I gave all figures a fresh coat of brown paint.  Next, I gave the feathers on top of their heads a coat of blue.  The beaks and breast plates were painted lime green.  The rifles were painted silver with nickel colored blades.  Tunics were given a charcoal color.  I went back in and dry brushed a lighter brown over the body.  When everything was dry, I gave the figures a wash of black.

The next day, I highlighted the feathers with a light blue.  The raised areas of the skin were highlighted with a cinnamon color.  The tunics were dry brushed with a light gray.  The rifles were highlighted with  platinum.  I added copper shoulder plates and jewelry.  The eyes were painted orange. The beaks were dry brushed with pale green.  Every fig was given a clear coat and that was that.

Check out the photo.  I am pleasantly pleased with the final product.  I say, "Well done!"
