This week I finished my first unit of ten Red Martians, and an overall commander, for the big 20 player GASLIGHT game Buck Surdu and I are running at Historicon. The figures are from Bronze Age and measure 32mm tall. I really like Bronze Age's stuff. The figures were relatively flash free and have a lot of detail that really makes simple paint jobs look good.

Skin tone looks great, just how I picture it from the Princess of Mars. |

Chris, what color did you use for the flesh if you don't mind me asking.

JH-
I don't mind at all.
First, I spray primed black. Then I painted a base coat of Games Workshop(The old stuff, not the new stuff) Terracotta, followed by a drybrushing with GW Tanned Flesh with a litt GW Vomit Brown mixed with it. |

I painted mine with Plaid craft acrylic "pumpkin." Then I used Windsor Newton nut brown ink as a wash.
