I just completed my second battalion of Reaper Bones CAV tanks. Eventually I will use these for Look, Sarge, No Charts: Near Future and Science Fiction. See details here: bucksurdu.com/blog/?p=4866 I have found that if I prime the vehicles with Krylon camouflage paint (it says it bonds to plastic on the can) and then give them a coat of Army Painter matte finish the tackiness that others report with the Bones material goes away. I can then work with the easily. Typically after base spraying them and painting the tires or treads, I then mount them on the bases and finish painting them. They are easier to hold that way, and I find I smear wet paint less frequently. Buck |
