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.
On the Strelets Forum people were discussing painting Caesar Miniatures.
"A few months later in storage and I noticed that the paint had gone sticky and glossy (previously painted matt), like it had reacted with the plastic or something. I did the same preparation with them (scrubbed with detergent and washed) and used my usual Vallejo acrylic paints as with everything else I've ever painted. I have literally no idea why these figures from Caesar in particular went bad and sticky but it has put me off from buying more, sadly! "
What kinds of paint do you recommend for Caesar Miniatures?
I got this reply:
"Dear Michael:
Thank you for your email.
I have never heard it before.
I think some Tamiya products are good.
Dear Mike, you are right!!!
I exclusively use Vallejo model color and many of my Caesar figures had this problem. ..as I paint all my stuff I had to move to last century products again : Esci, Revell or Zvezda...no problem with this kind of plastics...
