Bones 5 is shipping now, just in time... I need more things to paint (like I need a hole in my head )

Let me know if the new Bones is made of different plastic or if they've improved the process. I gave up on Bones a while back because the details were too muddy and it was getting in the way of practicing my painting.

Even though the box says Bones & Black Bones -- looks like everything is the new Black Bones material (except maybe Translucent models).. so more rigid. The actual detail level looks about the same.

Hmmm. I'm gonna need a bigger kraken. That boat's far too big for the Bones Kraken to drag to the bottom of the sea.

I have at least one Bones Black model, I think I posted it earlier in the thread, and I liked it better than whatever plastic the regular Bones line used. I think where the Bones line really shines is in their larger miniatures and from Bones 5 it looks like they've really stepped up their game. I'm looking forward to the day when some of those models are available to the rest of us.

This little guy is a Reaper Bones model I painted a few years back. It was my first attempt at underpainting and while the results where mixed I was happy with the experiment.
