    I'm currently building and painting the Sandtrap set. Opening this thread to maintain a link to the photo album with WIPs for reference.

    I'll post an update when significant milestones are reached (like completing a set...)

    Are you doing everything with only Speed Paint 2.0?
    The result looks good.

    Thanks. I do the color blocking in Speed Paint 2.0, then do details (mainly straps) and highlights in opaque colors. The bottles in the background are the paints used in each step; It helps me reproduce the same scheme on future additions.

    I guess I have to take a look at this bluish green you use to the Japaneses.

    I'm regretting it as I look at it - I want to use the color for an oasis-themed scheme, but I think I'll move it to the armour plates instead, and find a darker green for the pants.

    They look really good.

    How are the terrain pieces, flimsy or firm?

    You don't want to use the dark green for the armour plates ?

    I understand your use of Google image and have no issue accessing it myself, but it would be nice to see your pictures on the forum itself.
    Anyway, that's just my opinion.

    Edit: bad phone spell check corrected

    I'd love to, but the forum don't accept images of that size, and resizing them is frankly a pain, especially when working from a phone.

    Thanks.

    They seem at least as sturdy as the Blackwind set, and a lot easier to assemble.
