Dear Board Members: I planning to start miniatures project that involves micro-armor infantry in 1/300th scale. I have not done any painting in at least 25 years and I am wondering if anyone here can give advice painting 1/300th infantry? Also on the basing of the infantry, each base will represent a platoon and how infantry figures per base is the general standard. I am not using any set of rules as a basing guideline and I would like to know how other people have based their infantry? I will be using GHQ infantry. David Peters |

Check out the link on this thread > TMP link I go into detail on how I paint these Sci-fi 6mm. Painting 6mm US, VC or NVA will be fairly easy as each forces' uniforms and clothing are basically one color … |

Here's a pic of some futuristic Infantry I painted up in colors similar to the US ARMY of the Vietnam era. I started Cadet training in '75. So I used that as a guide >
It's basically base paint a darker shade, wash then dry brush with a lighter color. Then paint details like boots, weapons hands & face, etc. … I highly recommend Games Workshop washes. |
