with the relative success of the Dredd figure ive decided to have a crack at this , it was given to me by Si(eddisolo) so thanks mate, at the moment it is in a bag covered in oven cleaner as Si had started it View attachment 102367
I hope I don't screw it up lol\ said:Nice to see you doing it Al. If Paul pops in he will pleased to see someone having a crack at it.
Si
don't forget mate this is only my second figure and it has a full face but if I do what I did on Dredd it should look ok ish lol\ said:Great start Alan I'll be watching as I've never used oils on a figure before and have seen great results with them good luck mate
\ said:You don't have to wait Alan get yourself an hair dryer one of the best weapons I've ever acquired in the battle to get things done quickly especially useful in figure modelling.Go watch an eye painting tutorial on you tube I always paint the eye 1st with white mixed with the base colour of the flesh so it's off white.The iris and pupil could then be filled in with paint or a fineliner pen depending on the size of the eye but I always try to use paint before a pen but when you are happy with you work brush on lacquer which will seal it and give the eye a glimmer but be careful when doing this as if you use a cheaper pen the ink will run.
Cheers John I appreciate it , I'm not too happy with using a hair dryer on resin mate knowing my look I'll melt his face , I'm not one for reading or watching how to do things I'm a sort of cock up builder and like to find my own way but saying that I'll give it some serious thought , thanks for going to the trouble to help me out with advice and the DVDs mate I really appreiate it\ said:Two great DVDs here Alan if you want to get ahead in figure painting both highly recommended but if I was pushed for a favourite out the two then it would be with Rob Henden.I think John as these in the media section of his shop.I watch them back now and again as a refresher they really are a big help View attachment 112621
