Attached you´ll find a photo of an Infinity Ninja, along with exhibit B the real Glow in the Dark Skeleton (TM), that I´m going to use as a harlequin in my count as army. I´ve been going over the idea of using glow in the dark paint on the green lines of his holosuit to enhance the futuristic look. Anybody has ever tried that? Any brand of glow in the dark paint that you might recomend?

I believe Humbrol do a glow in the dark paint, however I would expect that for the small details your planning most brands will not be perfect due to 'pigment' saturation. Another suggestion would be to use theatre grade UV paint (I think made by Rosco, about £30 a can, about .5l i think) and equiping your falcons etc with under floor/prism mount UV lights. Obviously it would need to be dark for the effect but then again glow in the dark would too.

I know that Vallejo has made some pretty quality Glow in the Dark paint, though I don't know if it is still available.

However, they're a pretty trustworthy brand for mini paints. Very high quality across the board.

Now, you may have to play in the dark to get the full effect...

Vallejo makes a kind of an UV paint called fluorescent (or something close to that) paint that comes in orange, blue, red and green I think. I bought the orange and blue ones and the paint it´s not truly glow in the dark although looks really cool for SF minis with weird effects.
