                        Cirikili,

                        I'm doing a class tomorrow on 'figure painting' at a local hobby store so I'll pass on anything good I pick up.

                        Try Shep Paine's How to Build Dioramas. There is a step-by-step guide on painting figure faces in it. I haven't tried it yet, so if you do give it a go, let us know how it went,

                        Go to the figure forum as they probably have a couple hundred posts on painting faces.

                        Cirikili,

                        The class will take another 3 weekends to finish but we did mostly prep work on Saturday. We airbrushed the figure with a primer which made the details (and imperfections) just stand out. We were then able to fix any problems with the figures before painting.

                        I'll pass on more next week. Smile [:)]
