Here they are. I'll answer a few questions that I usually get, right off the bat:

1) They are Testors Acrylics
2) No, they dont chip if you play with them (?)
3) I havent seen Testors in Matte.
4) DO NOT use enamels! They NEVER dry...no, really....They NEVER do.
5) I only paint figures I have doubles of, so I can't take requests.
6) Of course, I accept donations.

Enjoy!

[SpectreSuperSix5]

[Sniper33]

that Ramenman looks like the one thats in the commercial. Good work on that and the others.

[Robotube]

...this could spawn a new sitcom.."Everone Loves Ramenman."

Yeah, I admit, the others, while cool don't stand up to Ramenman. He's one cool mo-dee. However, I do kind of like Crystal Man. That's a-pretty niiice!

I got a question, dont know if it was asked before though.

How long does it take to paint the figures?

[AmoiMan]

great job on the figures!!!

I guess I could do custom jobs for people...haven't thought about it before though...Maybe I can paint MUSCLEs and take figures as payment!!

It takes me about an hour for each figure. Figures with a lot of little details may take about .5 hour longer. I guess it all depends.

Oh dude, that Ramenman looks sweet!! Actually, they all look fantastic, but Ramenman is just incredible. You have some serious skills. I'm impressed.

[doc_moore_j]

Jason, you outdid yourself my friend. Those look great. Ramen man is sweet, but I personally like Crystal man the best, infact he is my favorite out of all of your painted figs i think. Sweet!!! Keep up the awesome work, and keep posting pics.

[arforbes]

Those are the best yet!!! I am very impressed by the quality of your work. Great job man!

Damn that ramen man looks like the one in the g2 comercial thats painted when its panning the camera really fast. Great job.
Question though they look glossy, how-di-ja do that?

The paints are gloss. I didn't do anything special to make them that way.

Wow!

Out of curiousity, how much would you be willing to paint a figure for ?

I think I would be willing to pain figures in exchange for other MUSCLE stuff. I wouldnt really feel like charging money since It wouldnt be all that much money to bother, and I need new doubles to paint anyhow.

[ApplianceMan]

Woo, silver!

I bet they have some matte glazes you could use as a top coat to tone down the glossiness...

I'm not sure I would really want to do that, to be honest with you. I'm growing fond of the glossiness. There are techniques to tone down the gloss, but I think Im gonna stick with it.

[max powerz]

I like the gloss and also think you should keep it except on the fleshy areas. But i dont see it in person. You should put them on a site adding the pics next to eachother.

[max powerz]

Schinizile. I fogot to say i painted for the most part that Buffalo man Micro AF i made and i though the paint looked good even though afew of the colors i used were almost completely dried up so i couldnt finish the black areas. Problem was i left it at home. about 6-8 weeks ill post it up. Will be home then with this terrible computer and hopefully will be builing a nice new one.

[arforbes]

I like the gloss too! It makes the paint job complete.

[gojiman]

hey Robo,
nice job!! if you're interested, testors does make acrylic paint in a flat finish.
I picked up a nice set at walmart that has the basic military colors in it. I like to use a combination of gloss and flat paints when i paint figs.

that Ramenman looks like the one thats in the commercial. Good work on that and the others.

Actually, I think it looks BETTER than the commercials!!!

Another triumph!!!!!
