My first 54 mm figure

[jerry]

Hi to all,

This is my first 54 mm figure that I paint, it's my third al all, the other two were 120 mm.

Crazy Horse was painted with Humbrol enamel, in these days I'm trying acrilics and I'll have to learn how to use them.

I'll apprecite any criticism or suggestion.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics as like my English.

Jerry,

I could only wish that my first 54mm looked this way. You did a good job.
How is it possible when you paint with acrylics that the skincolours are so shiney ???

As my friend Marc said, your first is a lot better than my first figure.

Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Cheers
Roc.

THX Marc and Roc,

I'll have a lot to learn and your comments are a big incentive for me.

The skintones were done with the Humbrol enamels using the Marijin suggestion that I found on an italian magazine.
Unfortunately my colors are pretty old.

Now I'm trying with Vallejo acrilics, these paints are really good, matt and with a good coverage.

My next figure is a 1/35th Delta Force during the Restore Hope Operation in 1993 from Dragon.

I'll show you the results,

Ciao
Jerry
