Just finished my first batch of saurus warriors. Over all, the models are better than i expected but my painting algorithm and color scheme did not turn out as i expected. It is too late really to change my color scheme but the painting algorithm will be changed.
For my next batch, I will start as below:
1. Eyes = bad moon yellow
2. Skin = bronzed flesh
3. Scales & teeth= bone
4. Wash: a mix of 9 part water, 1 part blue, 0.5 part yellow
5. Mouth & feathers: magenta
6. Leather: snake bite
7. Wood: scorched brown
8. Weapon: brass
9. Jewelry: bronze
10: standard: burnish gold
there is something wrong with the washing step. maybe it is too dilute. i do not know.
yes, i really need to take some photos.

71
Finally finished all my skinks, all 71 of them. Over all it took more time priming and assembling them than actual painting them. At least it seems that way. Not perfect, but i think they turned out alright. Now on to the Saurus. I will have to modify my inking of them i think.

Skinks Blows
This weekend I finished painting 20 skinks with blow pipes. I tried inking them and it did not work out as i expected, not bab, just not expected. I will take a picture and post it as soon as i can. Overall, it went faster than expected. Now onto skinks with javelins.

Saurus Warriors
I didn't realize that it has taken me so long to assemble the saurus warriors!
Over all i came to like the models more than i thought i would. I had problem with the fit of the leg to the body, leaving wide gaps. I tried to trim back the peg in the leg but this still didn't fit it. Otherwise, the arms fitted well, and there were plenty of options for the arms and head. Now i needd to prime them.

Saurus Riders
I've finished priming and 90% assemblage of the saurus cold ones riders.
Overall I think the model kit was pretty good with sufficient variation and details. While the ball-in-socket torso-pelvis joint was interesting, I am not sure this really added much to the variety of poses. But it was a secure joint and again I think the arms-shoulder joint should have been of similar design as well. I am also perplexed as to why the shield arm was integrated with the shield itself. As such, I have not glued them to the body and this will likely leave a painting seam at the left shoulder attachment. I guess I can paint the shield-arm first, then glue them to the torso and then paint the torso. Weird.
Next are the saurus warriors themselves.
