I just spent about an hour and half attempting to paint 6mm figures. I learned two things; not only can I not paint with my shaky hands, I actually quite dislike painting. I love the whole wargaming hobby; chatting, reading rules, playing the game, assembling forces. But when it comes to putting paint on the little guys, I find it a real chore. It's either I pay to have my figures painted, or I play with a metal coloured looking army. Which painting service do you use (assuming you do) that's based in the UK? Thanks all |

I've got some stuff with Battle Studios at the moment.
I've also seen good work from Adam Cooper of mountainofmetal.co.uk No idea if either do 6mm though. |

@Tarleton – it looks like tinytroops is going into retirement soon |

Just a thought. I know his work is very good. |

Turbil miniatures – I have used them a few times, in fact they presently have one of my orders – they are excellent value and very good. Well worth having a look at what they do. They have a website as well. turbilminiatures.co.uk |

@Mark68, Which armies/troops were you trying to paint up? |
| Mark68 | 12 Mar 2016 12:57 p.m. PST |
@Whirlwind – 6mm ww2 germans/americans. I also have some 15mm Flames of War plastics from the Open Fire box set that I would like to use for Chain of Command Thanks all for the links and recommendations |

@Mark68, As chance would have it, I was just thinking of selling on some painted 6mm WW2 Germans and British, and some mainly painted 15mm WW2 Germans and British, if they would be of any use to you? |

I have plenty of experience with 6mm as I personally game in that scale. Plenty of photos on my site – marchingincolour.blogspot.co.uk Downside.. I am fully booked well into April so couldn't offer you anything till after then. thanks
