The problem with micro miniature infantry is that they are a huge pain to paint. However, for us infantry lovers out there they look really great once their done. Do these steps in bulk, 50 - 100 plus figures, it goes fast that way. 1) Spray the figures the same color as their uniform. Saves major time. 2) Dry drush the uniforms with black. I use a smaller brush for this. A rolling motion can work very well. 3) Flesh (whichever color) for face and hands. Get most of the paint out of the brush, but not dry. 4) Boots, belts, and pack. Fine brush, and take your time. I find that if I just do the boots it looks good. Its way too easy to mess a figure up trying to do the belt or pack.
