Which colours did she use? They look nice and bug-like.

Edit:
You could have taken the mould lines off. It takes two seconds with a file to smooth the tail of a gaunt off.

To make the army sound more fearsome, why not use the latin for ladybug?

I air brushed most of the small ones with Deck Tan From the Tamaiya range ... she did the big models...

she and Nirobi painted them with 100yen wood varnish.. after that I painted on the brown bits with oil paints.. and she used a cotton swab to wipe of the oil paints and make the bug shell look... I went in and dabbed on the dots with with oil paints..

we did not bother with mold lines.. as I really could not be bothered...

I can see the various Fex bits in the Tervigon (I am assuming that is what it is). It looks like you used parts two kits to make it, but what is the rear body made from?
