My first figure....

Way better then anything I've done Mark. Good job on it.

Great job, the detail on the uniform is super.

I'l tell ya right now Mark..for a first time, I think you did one hell of a job!! The more you practice the better you will become. I am fine from the neck down but struggle on the heads. I am just now getting used to Oils on the faces.

Cheers

Ditto on the detail, I've never worked with figures only admired the work of those who do. Yours looks great for any attempt, let alone a first.

nicely done john just put a dullcoat over the uniform to take the gloss down otherwise great paintjob for your first

Super job, John. First effort or not, it's really nice. Details are superb. As said above, I'd just dull the cloth bits and I think you'll be there!

Not to shabby John. I love figures, just can't get the results, guess thats why most of my armor is crewless!! Painting faces is something that takes lots of practice. you're headed in the right direction. thanks for sharing. semper fi, mike

hey man, nice job. if u wnat some advice: try under painting the fig in acylics, then doing the finish in enamel over top of that. this way, when your blending and shading and whatever on the fig, there's less chance of the enamel eatin away at the surface. enamels dont dry as fast as acrylics, and to me at least, aren't as daunting as oils. I've done the few I hav in enamels, and this has worked pretty well.

Thanks for the kind words and advice, looking forward to my second figure
