Painting Soft Plastic Figures

Tips and Techniques

by Rolf Hedges


This is for all who use soft plastic figures and are tired of using PVA glue to undercoat your figures.

Try a new product called ESP - 'easy surface prep', the product is extremely fluid and adheres to the greasiest figures . it leaves a thin coating which is really strong - I'm still bending the muskets on some Russian Napoleonics and they have haven't flaked the paint.

It cost me £ 12 for a litre from B & Q - which should last me a very long time Although it does come in a smaller size which they had sold out of.
