hey guys,
I was visiting this forum for quite a while and now ill try to get an active member of it.
Finally i want to start my first figure. I'll try to some kind of SBS of my progress. This way i dont have to make new topics everytime i have a questions (and i bet ill have pretty much of them..) and you can tell me if I make things wrong.
So far i glued the arm and the head to the body. I already have the 1st problem. First i wanted to glue the main parts of the fire together - glue it to the base and paint it then. But now i realised that if i do it this way i cant acces the inner part of his cloth (at the legs).
I now thought about attach the second leg to the body paint the base and the lower part of the body. Then add it to the base and paint the upper part of the body. If i make it this way i can avoid holding parts that have been painted with my fingers.
I also thought about drilling holes into the figure paint it and then attach the finished figure to the base, but i couldnt get anything that could drill such a little hole into the metal.
I want to paint it with vallejo colors. And I think for painting the chainmail I will make some washes to it (without any primer), because that should give it a natural look. I've read that somewhere on this forum i think.
cheers David
PS: sry for my bad english
