Amy suggestions about quick paint jobs on Zebras.
By this I mean quicker than painting 15 stripes on each model.
I am thinking of 36 or 18 to do.

Is a Zebra next up on the sculpting table, Martin?

I did do a couple of my Toyotas in stripes - I remember them being a bit of a pain to paint!

I am considering a pack of zebras. They can be on table and be removed as countdown.
One thought I had was to do the stripes deep into the zebra model. Folk can then undercoat in black and dry brush in white? Or the other way around for variety.  The sculpture would look strange but the paint would look good.

Brilliant?

Er - please don't, Martin  :)

Stripes aren't that bad, and you can get some very nice black paint pens nowadays.

And it is of course a herd of zebra, generally. Although apparently dazzle, zeal, mob and harem [the mind boggles] are also used...

Are you also going to do the pride of lions that is eating them?  Or is that going to be one of the bad communication consequences?

I think you should do tigers, then some smartarse can come up to you at a show and tell you that you don't get tigers in Africa.

I painted a couple of my Technicals in Zebra and Tiger Stripe both featured in Reloaded.

Are the zebras going to be part of a gnu range of wildlife figures?
