I just started collecting 6mm, and these dudes are TINY. So far I've been able to paint up a few figures decently. These guys are definitely hardmode when it comes to mold/flash removal and model prep...

I've used a painting stick to line up 20 mans at a time, but does anyone have tips aside from getting a micro file as far as prepping goes?

6mm stuff is normally made with a lead alloy, making them pretty soft. Good knifework should be all you need.

Pictures?

I think patience and a slightly dull exacto blade will do it. They are from Microworld Games (holla!), and are quite stunning for being so wee.
