OK - Putting on a base coat turned into a 5 hour power session.

Not knowing this fig I had to spend some time in research.

My eyes were starting to cross by 5:00 am so I had to stop otherwise I might have finished the sword.

Looking at the pick there are some definite spots that need some touch ups. This figure, while cool, is a little busy for my tastes. However, a busy figure is good b/c it makes me slow down and take my time when painting. Overall a nice figure and I hope it's owner will be pleased upon completion.

The pics are a progression of base coat, body/face, right hand.

Excellent John.. cheers for the recipes.
Better you than me on such a busy figure Wink

My "follow along" minis are still in the post so I'll just have to play catch up.

I'll have to hurry since most of my painting time will vanish once the kids are out of school.

H1 - black grey

Any chance this is VMC #70682 ?
My labels rub out and I write #s on there.
