OK, so shame on me - the figures returned from Sri Lanka a long time ago, but I'm only just now getting to photographing them. Which sort of spoils the point of "how fast did they get painted," except that it was faster than I could handle... 
The figures were painted by Fernando Enterprises to match the manufacturer's online catalogue illustrations.
I then based the figures, using Gale Force Nine's magnetic bases, DryDex Spackling and Woodland Scenics flock.
Without further ado - the photos:
The cost of the project was $189 USD, including postage from Sri Lanka (but not postage to Sri Lanka, or the cost of the figures themselves).
