Preping the CAV Bones for paint.

[Club]

I boil mine in an electric kettle. Use a strainer to keep the bones off the element. Straighten things out and de-grease at the same time

 

I use toyama paint through an airbrush, thinned 1 part thinner for 4 part paint. haven't had any problens so far; the paint will come off, but the force needed to do it is comparable to that needed to strip metal. Just keep the setting low, and don't glop it on, per standard airbrush

 

I'll be painting three colour schemes - terran (Brown/cream), Rach (Red), and everyone else (Blue) in a third faction. The everyone else will include a disproportionate number of fire support, but that's the way things break down.
