Had the soft plastic soldier manufacturers produced packs like this from the beginning, I doubt we would ever have moved to metal. These are great little gaming figures.
My prep and sealing process for these is pretty foolproof. I've not had any flake since I started this. I wash the figures in liquid dish soap to remove the grease from them. I prime with a rattle-can grey or white plastic primer from Rustoleum. Once they are painted, I brush on Varathane "Ultimate Polyurethane" clear gloss interior and let it cure for three days. After all the basing is done, I seal with Testor's Dullcote from a rattle-can.
Now they need to start producing good cavalry figures too. I cannot find anything in soft plastic that looks great ranked up for gaming.
