Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kris" data-source="post: 3202461" data-attributes="member: 3745">Tonight I thought I'd try a couple of metal miniatures - and see how they handled the dip.So sticking with a similar colour scheme I've quickly painted a couple of LotR orcs (yep more orcs <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). Also seeing as how the woodstain is basically shading the miniatures dark brown, I'm trying to stick with colours that work best with that (i.e. no bright blues etc.).Anyway, these guys are a lot smaller than your average GW or Reaper miniature - and are more like true 28mm scale. The paint jobs are very basic (and remind me of the first ever miniatures I painted when I was like 12 years old or something <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ) - with the second one taking a mere 35 min's to complete (yep... I was sad enough to time myself for this little speed painting experiment <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ).<img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/lotr1a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/lotr2a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />I much prefer the look of these orcs (even though these two particular mini's are not the best ones in the range) as they are far less comical looking than the regular GW orcs and goblins.And here they are after the dip:<img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/lotr1and2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />I am really happy with the difference the dip has made to these figures - whether it's just because they are smaller, or because they are metal and have deeper recesses than the plastic figures, I'm not sure... but they are without doubt my favourite of the ones I have dipped so far (of course it probably helps that I prefer the style of the sculpts themselves too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> )</blockquote>
