New Arrivals

Looking forward to building and painting these guys.

Arms on or Off

I usually put the arms on first and then paint however on these Victrix 54mm it's difficult to paint the jackets properly.

I'm going to try on the next batch leaving the arms off those that are affected and see how that works.

I'll post some pictures etc
