Confrontation Dirz - Repaints and Metals

[GlennM]

Trying to aquire a copy of Hybrid and Nemesis, but that put me in the mood to work on my Dirz a bit, I only have a few metals, but piles of the plastics. So I took a brush to the lot of them. Working through the plastics will be a slow process, but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end.

My Blog has more pictures, but deep down, the PPP Confrontation figures aren't that bad, they just need some love.

So I got some cool bases in the mail and worked on a fair few more. I'd say I am around 1/4 of the way through my collection.

loving the big beasties you've got here. Also the dark green cloth is nicely done, what colour is that? Coal black? What do you use to highlight it?

[GlennM]

The dark green is actually Apple Barrel True Teal, but it's really old and is too thin. However when I paint figures that are primed black, I do a few drybrushes of grey to white, then paint over that, so I didn't highlight the Teal at all, the grey shades just show through.

I tried to paint them similar to the default colors in case I got lazy and didn't finish the whole army (which is likely as I only have about 1/4 done)

There isn't a single wash on this whole army with a couple of the earlier figures as exceptions (though I found drybrushing the glow effect easier and better) Every figure here is simply drybrushed up from black, with a few block colors, even those were painted loosely.
