To ALL of YOU and ALL YOUR OVERPRAISING......THANKS

I'm posting the mix and my approach to the Blue........

I started with a base coat of Andrea Prussian Blue, but then I remembered that any weathering on it will leave those dreaded chalky streaks :angry:

So I repainted the whole thing with Maimeri's tube acrylic Navy Blue + a bit of Black to darken things down............

Highlights were painted with Navy Blue, for the second highlight I added Paynes Grey and a dab of Flesh tint (all Maimeri tubes) because I didn't want to risk any chalkyness appearing due to the first basecoat........I added some more Flesh tint for the extreme highlights..........

Shadows were Blue Black (Navy Blue + Black) and the extreme shadows were Black again Maimeri tube.......

Hope this satisfies any questions regarding the Blue.........any other mixes required, I'd be more then happy to share..........

Hiya Ray...sorry I missed comenting earlier...I haven't been around for a few days...I just gotta say that I love all the attention to the tiny details that makes all the difference...for instance, the hands and the wood-grain on the weapon...it rocks mate..!

Superb figure..

All the best...Roy.
