I was just struck by the fact this thread has a Necromunda tag. They do say that every model is a Necromunda model, but I think it would take some effort to work these guys in...
My mum (who used to work with horses) tells me I have done a Black, Bay, Dun and "not-quite-right" Dapple Grey. Everyone's a critic.
Just need to do a banner now. I hear good things about cut out bits of drinks can with printouts glued to it.
I think the original WD tip from days of yore was using the foil from a metallic tube, like the kind mustard comes in, if I recall correctly. Probably easier to cut than drinks can aluminium, but less durable as well.
That's what I just finished doing a few minutes ago.
Printed banner I found online. Folded and PVA'd, I'll PVA the outside a couple of times once it's dry.
Drinks can seemed like such a faff. If the banner gets wrecked I'll just do another one.
I’m pretty sure that’s how I did all my banners way back in the day. I can’t remember the last time I had to paint an actual banner.
It’s a good way of slicing your fingers and wrists up too! Even while playing!
I remember it was the foil from a tomato puree tube or if you’re really fancy - the foil from around wine bottles (80s wine bottles probably had better quality foil than today).
I didn’t have either in the day so tried it with the foil from a Pot Noodle lid. It worked but had an odd texture and I wouldn’t advise it as it’s too flexible.
@Stoof the way you’ve done it with printed paper and PVA is probably the easiest and safest and most replaceable. As long as the back of the paper is soaked through you can mould it into natural cloth shapes and when it dries it sticks like that.
I have heard of people using washi paper but it’s more akin to using it as a binder for printed flags.
Here’s an old video on banners: if you’re nuts enough to try it.
(probably not worth it unless you’re painting a display piece)

That was it, right, seemed a foreign concept to a young Prime back then as Primemother never used it much in her cooking.
I however do these days, might be worth trying it just for the heck of it.
People voted for the wrong comp 60 theme. Flippin' democracy. Anyway, did the board game theme despite it not winning.
Some bases and a couple of coats of varnish to go.
All done, including mines, supply crates and oil drums.
One day for the lot, haven't been that productive since I was knocking out Bolt Action armies during THE EVENT!
Boggy B took cover, he shivered on patrol.
The arms race crazy, simply way out of control.
Then his friend threw it, the latest device.
Boggy B went and got it, against all advice. (What the...?

I have overpaid for some old metal. Not over a hundred quid like some people are asking, but too much nonetheless.
They're now in a bath of Biostrip. I thought about just tidying up Bertrand's paint job, but I decided not to.

Welcome, gentlemen, to your new Skirmish configuration. Luxuriously round bases! Mould lines filed off! Barrel of beer on the right way up! Will the wonders never cease?
