Hey Njai~  Best one seen here at FSM is this one by Bodge

When I started, these by Mark Bannerman really helped

Lots of good tricks to be learned in my own blogs tooWink

Good luck!

Too many long-time builders never return to square one and learn to do figures and their presentaions sorely lack for it.Beer

Good 1/35 figure tutorial (advice?)
Posted by Njal Thorgeirsson on Saturday, May 7, 2011 12:07 PM

I've purchased several 1/35 resin figures at the LHS, but I've just never felt confident enough to jump in and try to paint them (and probably rightly so, because I don't have any figure experience).

I have at my disposal Tamiya acrylics, and Testors and Model Master Enamels and acrylics... I thought I'd use the MM acrylics to put down base coats, then use oils and enamels for washes and highlighting (because MM has better and more earthy tones than Tamiya).... But I really need advice/ a tutorial for the eyes, because the eyes often look bad when attempted by the figure-inexperienced.

Thanks for your help!
