Insights into painting figures please

Hi again allOk, so I bought one of the Preiser 100 people sets..... unpainted of course. I have sprayed a base of beige as a skin toning to start out with, but can't help but think I might've been better off doing them all in a brown and adding flesh tones, as I am modelling the 30's when I imagine many folks would've been dressed rather drably (is that a word???)Anyway, I would appreciate suggestions on how to pain these effectively yet rather quickly if possible. They are all still on their sprues. Either way I know it will take some time to do them all - I don't mind that so much as paying the prince for the painted ones - nearly fell off my chair at around 2 bucks per tiny plastic man. Mind you, I may end up blind by the process!ThanksSteve

bloody brilliant suggestions!

BTW - I don't know how many folks here would be familiar with the Weird Science reference

but of course I am - in fact I had just bought my 928 when that film came out

Cheers

I thought the crew died on the clock and the penguins left before the replacement crew got there.
