Drybrushing/hilighting/weathering BFE figures?

[Armchair_Marine]

Any point in improving the look of these figures by drybrushing the small details? Or are they just too tiny?

could be done, but time would be better spent either painting scenery, watchin telly or going out for a pint

Do they already come highlighted?

sorta i spose.

the camo is great and high lights on the MEA is good, all the stuff is great in my opinion and i paint for money when funds are low ! i wouldnt attempt an army in these camo schemes especialy over an entire army.

Well those tanks and technicals look like they could definately have more weathering. You can never get too dirty in war.

weathering is never a waste of time
I'll repaint the odd scarf or jacket (and technical)so i don't end up with a clonetrooper army
see bob here, his clones bob2 and bob3 are fighting over there,
i'm afraid bob4 bought it yesterday
I've got that thing going in my CSM-army with the metal minis already

I gave my Abrams an ink wash over the engine grills and around hatches and other details. It really adds a lot. I also drilled out the gun barrel and painted the inside black then painted black lenses on the thermal sights. I'm going to scratch build the missing laser range finder on the turret and the infantry phone box on the rear.

Yeah, stuff I plan to do when my M1 arrives. I'll also be adding extra backpacks and gear around the tank. You can never have enough of those in a modern tank.
