Just got a cheap digital camera, thought I'd post something to get some feedback, I know the picture is not very good, still getting used to the camera.
Thoughts and comments appreciated.
Thanks #:-) #:-)

Hola!

Looking good so far, are you planning on painting any special pattern typical to the celts on this figure? Gotta love Pegaso's recent Celtic subjects. Keep us posted!

I might try my hand at some type of Celtic design. Any recommendations on how to achieve such fine lines like the ones on the photo of this figure?

Hola!

It depends on what medium you are painting with. For acrylics or Enamels you need to keep your paint very thing and build up the lines. If you paint it crooked or sloppy, just go back over with the base color and straighten things out. For oils, still use dlluted paint, just make sure the base is throughly dried out before or the base will lift unless you coated it with some sort of clear coat. With oils, if you paint it croockedly you can just take a brush with turpentine and wipe the paint away where you don't want it. Hope this makes sense

Thanks Anders, I mainly use acrylics, but I think I should have primed this figure with an enamel. #:-)

Hola!

I always use an acrylic primer, they seam to shrink a little and preserve the small details. I use a color called Equipment Gray by Color Place and can be bought at Wal Mart for like 99¢.

I found I was able to paint a very strait line, which had given me headaches for years, by using an 18 (eighteen) 0 brush I found at an art store. I was getting a tube of oil at the same time so I don't know what it cost alone.
Another thought for the lines on the trousers would be decal strips. You can get sheets of mutli width stripes for SupeScale.
Your biggest challlenge will be keeping the stripes equally spaced.
