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.
