Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
I use grass, which is sold for terrain for model-railway. It is a pice of paper where is glued 'scattered grass'. I glue the paper to a plastic to make stable the base.
I cut the original base of the figures and glue them with rapid glue exactly to the paper after that I make space on the grass.
I use Model Master ackryl dark skin colour. After I wash it with Model Master 'Leather' and at least, I paint the nose, top of face and chin with very light skin colour.
I paint the metal parts of figures with Model Master 'Methalizer Gun metal' and after I dry-brush with Model Master ackryl 'Silver'.
And I'm not a lady!!!
