Help Detailing 1/72 figures

An Exacto knife & a steady hand?lol
I paint a lot (re-iterate...a LOT) of 25 MM plastic figs for Warhammer. A few very fine grade files and an assortment of super sharp exacto knife blades will work wonders.

At this scale exagerating shadows creases is a good technique to making them stand out.. Base coat them Black and try drybrushing the colour on top this will show up the details then its a matter of picking them out with a fine tipped brush. As for the eyes well you need a steady hand ..... nahh just kiddin a thin wash of brown should be enough over the skin tones. Another good technique is using washes or inks to pick out the detail, then going over the base coat with highlights.
Good luck.

Got any pics? might help us see what help if any you need.

Thanks guys. I've just found out that a fine point pen works great for small details and the actions on small guns. Had the pen in hand and just started colouring. Works pretty good. Sorry Deusmex no pics yet. But your advice helped. That link was really a great one too. Thanks Philip.
