Stebos Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Good luck with this one Mish, if I remember right from my GW miniature painting days, the key is layering up in thin coats and blending while wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well I've made a start. All the parts have been checked and washed ready for assembly and painting. I've put a base coat of flesh on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Well I've added a bit of colour to our Axis friend. He actually looks better than he does in the photo. He has a lot more variation in skin tones. I will have to try adjusting the lighting. I'm not happy with the eyes yet, it's just that they are damn small to work on Edited February 10, 2009 by Mish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo33 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm a bit dim with figures Mish - does 120mm mean he's 120mm tall? I guess that means if he's 6 foot tall (1.8m) it's a scale of about 1/15? Looking pretty good anyway - I suppose it's like any modelling, if you've got a bigger model it's easier to work on but you also need to put more detail in...can't see Dazz painting eyes on his 1/72 figures !!!!

Yes Tim he is 120mm tall about 6", mix of resin and PE and I've tried painting 1:35 figures and 1:48 both with no success. Hope this one goes better.

If so Dazz I take my hat off to you - I can barely paint figures in 1/48 and if I try to put eyes on they look like they've had a serious shock!!!

Stebos Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Love the weathering on those boots. A good tip for eyes on small figures is to make sure the whites are in the corners only, it's always tempting to dot the iris in centrally, but too much white surround gives that googly eyes look! You seem to have avoided that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
