Hi Folks

Has this sitting around on the bench for some time and got the urge to tackle it again and finally finish it off so here is the end result. Kept messing around with it for some time but decided to leave it well alone now and be happy with the final result.

As always being a Young miniatures kit it was a pleasure to paint and assemble with no issues what so ever.

The painting was done using Scale 75 Acrylics and all the metals were done using various colours from Darkstar Molten Metal acrylic paints range.

The photos have been taken on my phone camera at night in artificial light so looking at them now I guess I need to take a few more during the day in natural daylight !

Any comments most welcome.

Cheers

Tommi

Hi Tommy
Very nice bust and superb metal surfaces. I don't see any glitering which we can often see with mica based metallics.. Looks like those metallics compare well with Vallejo Model Air Metallics and regular oil printers inks. Since there are no nice gold in the Model Air range, these golds might be worth a try.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex
Our metallic are mica based but the mica is different and so is the paint mix.
so the glittering effect you are talking about, shouldn't happen with our metallic.

Tommy great job as always face is stunning.

Very nice piece. Good job on the armour and the face. They really popped out at me when I viewed the pictures. The bear skin is nice too.

Superb paint job. The flesh are realy warm almost looks, human as strange as that sounds , the slight sheen on the eyes and lips is really driving it home.

PS nice metal
