Here is the first figure i've started workin' on. It was undercoated Flat Black, thinned XF-65 Field Grey was applied for his jacket. For the shaded areas I used Winsor & Newton oils which were Olive Green mixed with Payne's Grey, then for the highlights I used Olive Green mixed with White.

Colours used for the trousers were Vallejo Model Air German Grey, brushpainted. These colours are ideal for paintin' figures with 'cos they're pre-thinned and don't leave any brush strokes. Its a good thing, 'cos they're absolutely useless for airbrushin' with, and always cloggin' my AB!

The trousers so far have only been shaded with Payne's Grey, lightened with white. Payne's Grey is very very dark, by the way!

Gday Paul
That's a nice looking figure and pose...
What can you tell me about him?
Is he a Dragon bloke? He has PE so maybe a Gen2 figure, huh.
What are your plans for him?
What are you having for brekky?
Sorry, got carried away with silly little questions... :-)
