    I've been so impressed with the leap forward in painting techniques,and materials,I decided after a long absence to get back into the hobby,so I went and ordered Vallejo acryllics,and several Figures.....and my wife bought me Calvin Tans's Painting SS book for xmas,so I thought I'd give it a whirl.....I realise the dots are too big,but I got the efect I was after......this is more of a test to see what working with Acryllics was like...........so far I'm very impressed!!

    I still need to apply the dark wash to the back.

    Calum, Welcome back to the hobby. Once you get a few more figures under your belt I'm sure you'll see improvements from one figure to the next. Keep on painting.~Gary

    Calum, if that is your first figure in five years, I think you are doing great. ;)
    My advice to you is to practice and ask a lot of questions.

    Keep up the good work.

    Cheers
    Roc. :)

    Hi there Argyll...I see you've found this place too!

    Good looking fig you got there, even if the spots are on the "big-ish" side...
    ...now if I could only drag myself away from the off-topic forum and do some painting of my own... :lol:
