A Red-Headed Lass Flat

[Glen]

This is a cast resin flat by Yvan Durand and sold through Nemrod. It's about 3 inches tall. I slightly reshaped the nose and enlarged and relocated the too small eye upward and closer to the nose. I also added some additional bits of hair to cover the lack of an ear. Easy stuff really. Reaper MSP acrylics over Floquil Model Railroad Gray Primer.

Qs & Cs welcomed.

Cheers,

Glen

Thanks all!

Nap, the paint mixes are Reaper Master Series Acrylics

Base: 1:1 Tanned Skin+Rosy Skin
1st Light: 1:1 Tanned Highlight+Rosy Highlight
1st Shade: 1:1 Tanned Shadow+Rosy Shadow

I use Linen White for increasing highlights and Chestnut Brown OR Burgundy Wine (both sparingly) for deeper shadows. Lips are painted with basic colors, usually at full strength. Eye shadows and and blushes are glazes of whatever colors go with the hair color/complexion.

HTH,

Glen

Good luck with it, Nap. Just remember to us the Chestnut Brown or Burgundy Wine sparingly until you get a handle on the mixes. Better to start too light than too dark...
