The Rock Top models themselves are nice to work with, although some of the mould lines are really annoying to remove, and I got Jay to help with some of that. These models also require you to fill in the gaps in the bases, so I did that with a bit of green stuff - it didn't take too long, but it does add on a bit of extra time before you can spray them with a base coat.
In the meantime I had to come up with a colour scheme. I knew right away I didn't want the turtles to be overly garish or vibrant and so I decided to go with a more muted, earthy-ish vibe, which I think suits the lil turtle dudes what with all their rockbits and nubbins.
I do mix my paints alot so I can't tell you the exact ratios...I just go with the flow, but here are the colour palettes I used (Foundry paints unless otherwise stated):
