Great work mate, really nice to see something so different.
I remember Ross saying something about dying body parts. Was there a tutorial posted? I guess that it stops the problem of paint loss of moving parts?

Thanks - think there have been a few tutorials but basically I use a pack of ritdye in a small pan half full lof near boiling water and bung stuff in in a sieve for a minute or so at a time. Its great on some parts but black wont always cover camo patterns and it can warp or shrink parts so its best to screw torsos / legs together and bend them a few times at each soaking to ensure coverage. I prefer to only use it on arms as I will hardly ever paint elbow joints due to paint rub or loss...
