The painting came out very well on these figures.
A Reaper Bones sphinx? I'll have to go look for that! Thanks! Grelber |

I may go back and paint the pupils on my Cyclops, thanks to your examples. I love the Red Box fantasy 1/72 scale figures. They paint easily, after spray priming with inexpensive automotive gray, sandable, primer. They have very good details -- surprisingly good details, honestly, for injection molded plastic. I am sorely tempted by their Centaurs, but I have an army's worth of other Centaur models already! I am not sold on Minotaurs for my games. Otherwise, I would order a few boxes of them, to add another army to my collection… I am a huge fan of Caesar fantasy figures, as well. These are very economical figures for building out fantasy armies. Red Box has an excellent line-up to choose from. Cheers! |

Hi Sgt Slag, thank you for your comment! The cyclops is large enough to have the pupil sculpted, it makes the painting easier. The Dark Alliance Centaurs are nice, but I experienced difficulties in removing the mold lines, because of the very soft plastic – you need a very sharp knife :) |

I've heard that a soldering iron will work better, but I've never tried it yet. I should -- I game with cheap plastic Army Men figures. LOL! I should be practicing on them, so I can improve my Red Box sets! Cheers! |

They look great. I can't get to your blog link with my office internet firewall. Where's the Hydra from? |

Thanks again! @Wargaming Roadtrips: sorry for the late answer. If not too late, that hydra is a venerable 25mm metal figure from 1984 by Ral Partha :) |
