Painting US infantry is pretty simple as it is, but at 6mm I really wanted to do it as easy as I could. Warning - I painted these guys in strips so the basing isn't as good as it could have been (you might see some bare coin in places), and for some reason when I clip them from the strip paint scratches off them. I really can't be bothered to go back and touch up any scratches. I would honestly much rather just buy and paint new figures!
Step 1: This is the basing that I should have done first. Glue to coins, or small metal disk. Spray the whole lot white. Paint the base a sandy craft colour.
Steps 2-6 in one sitting.
Step 2: Flesh - just be messy don't be careful. No point.
Step 3: I painted their boots Vallejo Flat Brown (leather colour). It is pretty light.
Step 4: Painted guns black.
Step 5: I painted their trousers a Vallejo light green colour. Not sure what it was.
Step 6: I painted their tops Vallejo khaki.
Step 7: Washed the lot with Agrax Earthshade.
Step 8: Painted their helmets and canteens Vallejo US Dark Green.
Step 9: Paint the base rim dark grey.
Step 10: Flock the entire base.
Step 11: Seal with a matt spray.
These guys look fine to be honest. I actually wonder if they would benefit from wooden stocks but that is an extra unwanted step. I like their light boots for some reason. I way prefer them to black boots.
