I am having a problem with my figure painting, the eyes. Everything else I feel ok with in terms of the flesh tones. I have tried the Andreas video on painting figures and their way seems to me, like the eyes have eye liner on. Verlinden, well I still am not to sure about his either. His way makes the eyes look to squinty, like you are looking into the sun. Shep Paines way is ok but the eyes doesn't have any personality. Can anyone please help me with my problem!??! Is there a website for painting figures? Kinda like a "How-to" site?

Yeah, eyes in 1/35 are my nemesis in figure painting too. I wish I had a good way to do them. I saw someone actually makes decals for eyes in 1/35. I forget if its Archer or echelon. If you do a search for eye decals, you should find them. I thought it was a good idea, but I never used them. Good luck!

Gary-- Archer sells them. I have them and you would have to be a magician to get them on a figure.
