Just gave it a crack this evening. Used citadel paints. They seem to dry just fine, these feel like a harder plastic then the ones I recall from childhood. Going to work through the entire set of 12, may grab an additional set for alternate paint jobs or improved versions. Edit: just realized I forgot to paint Macho Man’s teeth.

That’s amazing how you can paint so much detail onto something that small.

RawIsWar I used the citadel brushes that were in the paint display of my local gaming shop. wrestlingfan0815 They have the details fairly well defined when you have them in hand. On those first two I just followed the molded lines for the most part.

Great job man. These figures are awesome in general, but the color adds so much more personality to them

I may have to get on board with this!! Seems fun It has been pretty enjoyable so far. I am hopeful working on this small scale will help improve my paint game on the elite fix ups and customs.

Another great job man, you are knocking these out of the park, you could probably make some good money offering to do these for people. How come you went for the white shirt for sarge and not black? Just curious and not knocking it at all

stinkfaceT those look incredible. The natural color of the plastic makes a great skintone...until you get to Junkyard Dog

hbkjason Thanks for the kind words. I did pick up some extras, and would be open to the idea of taking some requests in the near future. I went with a white shirt as a sorta hybrid look between his fatigues and when he wore the white top with the blue pants (GI Joe look). I’m also trying to avoid black attires as best possible just for the brightness. @aussiedzfan I agree the figures do have a good skin tone already. Gonna use citadel mournfang brown for JYD. Gonna try and knock out M$M and at least one other tonight. Maybe I will give JYD a go.

These look great, man. While the flesh tone is jam-packed full of nostalgia, I really like them colored in, too.

Those look so awesome!!!
Great job. I know the original look of these figures is part of their charm and appeal, but painting them really brings the characters to life.
