Been a while! Earlier this year I got an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro resin SLA pinter and really took of 3D printing miniatures. Mostly through MyMiniFactory purchases, Patreon support of artists, or in this case a Kickstater campaign by Mad Robot Miniatures.
Haydon Commandos are clearly inspired by British Royal Commandos, but just as easily the Para Regiment as well. My choice is clear with the red berets of the Paras in lieu of the green Commando.
After assembling the miniatures I primed with a dark brown camo spray paint that matches burnt umber near perfectly. I followed this up with dry brushing raw sienna as a mid tone, and ivory as a highlight completing my basic underpainting.
As you can see, nothing fancy here. Inexpensive camo spray paint, and cheap craft store acrylics. Results were great, my photographs are terrible!
Now, the more expensive paint, Army Painter Speedpaints. Here are my paint selections and what I painted with each:
Made a great khaki base
Missed the web gear with this color in this shot...
After painting the web belts, I used Mr. Super Clear Matt to seal the speedpaints before proceeding to apply regular acrylics. Part 2 forthcoming.
