Whats the best way to paint eyes on a 1/35 scale figure?

Well I've heard it works well with toothpicks.

I'm also trying to paint a fig right now and it is quite a challenge!
There are many good figure painters and they can tell you a lot more then me.

Good luck!

One way is to
1. paint a base coat of flesh
2. paint the eye white don't worry about overpainting.
3. Paint a vertical black line for the iris.
4. Touch up the lower part of the iris with white to disconnect it from the bottom.
5. Paint the flesh tones around the eye. This will cover step 2 & 3s overpaint,
Work pretty nicely for well detailed faces (warriror, some VP).
Other ways are a 0000 brush and a dot of white. A pin and a dot of black.

Take a look in my gallery for the results.
What I've been doing is priming the figure then laying a thin line of Vallejo Light Flesh for the white. Then using an 18/0 liner or spotter brush, placing a black, brown or blue dot fot the iris. Aiming the eyes off center gives more feeling and is less likely to produce a cross eyed look. I then paint the base flesh around it and add appropriate hightlights and shadows as needed.
It ghelps to have a well scupted face, something a bit hard to come by in 1/35 armor figures.

I'm no good at figures (faces anyway) yet, but must agree that a well sculpted face is a lot easier to deal with. I recently got a set of Verlinden value heads from Historex, think they were about £6 for 25! Not as good as Hornet heads, a few air bubbles here and there, but still far better than your average Tamiya

i use a needle( to sow..) dip it in properly thined white, probly 50/50 ratio about, then i use grean, blue or brown depending on which color i want them to be and use a needle again, but with less pait on hte tip( try it out on a flat plastic surface so you get used to the proper amount of paint needed on the needle)
P.S this is done after painting the figures skind with tamiyaxf-15 with a few layers of model master warm tint skin tone... after i fige the face a light red-brown wash.
