Great detail of her suit. But her facial expression is a bit unclear!

Overall,good figure! :)

I work with a woman who looks like this (sans the flight suit). Can't figure her out either.

Nice job.

Looking at the face...it has kind of a rough texture.

You're using oils, right? It was this texture that drove me, thankfully, to Andrea/Vallejo acrylics.

Try thinning the paints a bit more. Maybe add some Liquin. I forget who makes it but it's in the same area s oils.

Do you use "artist" quality oils or "student?" The artist variety has finer pigments and should also help reduce the graininess.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

...thanks, I have a VERY BAD habit of wiping faces with tissue to remove excess paint, blot and generally blend certain colors--wouldn't you know that it leaves little fibers!!! Whoa !!! Dunce [D)] This is usually a non-issue until the pics enlarge the fig by 100 times---LOL...

...I do use artists quality oils so I can't blame the paints...its the painter...haven't tried Vallejo for faces yet...maybe that would be a good experiment for me...

...thanks for the feedback...

I totally gave up on oils and went with Vallejo and Reaper acrylics. Easy to work with, using THIN THIN THIN and did I say THIN dry layers. Extender or slo-dri keeps it wet on your brush and you think your brush is dry from wiping it off, but there is plenty of paint left in there workable to paint with.

What 1/35 jet kits are out there?

...thanks, you guys have got me itching to try the Vallejo's...I have heard and read a lot of good things about their line but have never used any...I do use acrylics on a lot of other things, but never tried it for flesh...

...not sure there are many 35th scale jets...I work primarily in quarter scale for a/c...the fig is a Legend item I just picked up cause she looked cool...
