It's the fighters that worry me.LBH

I could see how that would be, all those T-Bolts. My best advice is to paint one first, to find the scheme you like, then settle in for mass production.

Oh yes, keeping your work table neat and orderly is a good Idea. (my table may not a good example) Especially when doing lots of something small.

Spent tonight drilling through some metal bases that had metal where the holes should be. Which showed me that the pin vice I have is a bit crappy, the bit kept spinning in the grip.

Just wind some masking tape around the back of the bit to bulk it out - as long as it will still fit into the chuck afterwards. You may also want to try and untwist the whole chuck assembly where the bit fits in, some of them are reversible. My GW one has a different sized one on either end.

Basically unscrew everything in sight and and see what happens. It'll go back together afterwards....

As for painting, use a small brush. Water your paint down a lot and apply in thin coats. Use a spray undercoat. Practice on any spare sprue's, large lumps of flash, random tat or cheap minis.

Damn, that's what I should have picked up some extra cheap metal bases for, practice.

Or just use the surplus plastic ones that you are in the process of replacing with metal ones.....
