First real venture into painting minis and ironically with ones that have their share of horror stories. Apparently the plastic molding on the Last Night on Earth minis reacted strangely with certain primers and paints causing them to become sticky for many. I didn’t have these problems although that’s probably thanks to following someone else’s successful tutorial on how they did it beforehand.
The tutorial can be seen here off BGG and the results in my opinion are quite good given the relative lack of skill required. Priming is straightforward and not even sure if its a necessary step. My spray coverage wasn’t complete on some of the minis and the paint seem to adhere fine to parts that were bare of primer.
Like in the tutorial, the acrylic paints were applied extremely rough with no details or shading of any kind, just block colors for individual sections. The Minwax Polyshades did wonders for taking these ugly paint jobs and turning them into something quite appealing.
