    Yellow will look nice I think but not an easy colour to work with, we'll see. :cautious:

    Nice start, Roger - Ive started to use cream or buff as a basecoat for yellow. Seems to work OK(y)

    Thanks Kev.
    I'm concentrating my efforts into getting a good opaque coat of yellow down at the moment. Who knows how it'll go after that but I'll keep you updated. :)

    Looking really good Roger.
    Yellows are one of my favourite tones to work with. I chose the yellow I want to be the main tone. Then to highlight drag a little to the left and add white.
    For shade I take a red, usually crimson but lighter or darker works too, and add two or three different measures to the base yellow. I found it quite an eye opener how 'orange' you can go on 52mm pieces to get a good contrast.
    That said I am sure that you have something in your mind to cope with it.
    All the best

    Always best.
    The man with the brush in his hand knows best. I was shocked when you said "not easy to work with".....you must have done a good few one way or another.

    Roger,you know the rhyme on coral snakes:red next to yellow...will kill a fellow.This new figgie of yours is definitely a killer.Very novel to depart from the well establishes ubiquitous "red" for streltsi and you have certainly worked wonders with the yellows,a notoriously difficult colour to work with.This is a wondeful figurine.I hope you put it up for figure of the month on February.
