Starting painting figures.

[Nap]

So looking around PF, found this figure.

Looks to be a interesting bust! Just one thing though, any ideas of how to modify the hat?

That's the 1/16th bust a lovely sculpt , as for the hat you could carefully use hot water to reshape the brim

Look forward to seeing what you decide

Happy benchtime

I use Vallejo Model Color, among other water-based acrylics, and yes, given enough handling, it rubs off. So I second the advice about pinning your figures and sticking them into something to use as a holder. I have a holder that I got through MicroMark-can't find a picture now, but it consists of a round "table", perforated to accept pins, and adjustable via a threaded screw to open and close it. But I started using wine bottle corks, far easier to work with. Just need to make a holder for those-I'll take a piece of 2x4 and drill some holes in it, and stick the corks in when I'm not working on the figure. I'll have to take some pictures to share.

Prost!

Whiskey corks have a flat top.... (just saying... lol)
