Turned 24 at midnight figuring out how to do the hair, which is not sculpted. Lee and a much fabled Japanese girl kit artist have been a major influence.

Immediate tasks include refining eyes, refining made up hair. The helmet can wait...

Comments welcome! Thanks for dropping by!

Now that I am 24, I have lived twice the Zodiac cycle. That means a great deal, you know?

Michael

EXCELLENT!!!

Looks great Michael, and happy 24th!

Thanks guys! Carl, I haven't finished the pupils yet. What's shown is two variations of the Orange Brown, one mixed with Chocolate Brown and one mixed with white. A lot of playing around left to do yet.

Should take the chance to point out my thoughts on the made-up hair. It is a mixture of Black and Chocolate Brown. Because of the coloration of the beard area, I dont have much leeway with the hair. In fact both the Box Art and logic will imply that no hair should really feature there. Anyway... I want the hair to look as dark as possible, to the extent it is no longer worthwhile for the viewer to decide whether it is black or something else. This will be further helped by thinner strokes. Oh yes I will deliver. Oh yes.

Thanks Mr Harmms. I am a big fan and I believe I have the whole range of 1/16 figures from Alpine, alongside various picks of 1/35 by yourself. Which means I am a big fan...

I think this is looking great. I hope you get this one finished.

Looking better and better! Happy Birthday too!

Starting to really come together now Michael.


Cheers David

Hi Michael and congratulations!

good transitions between fleshtones.

Thanks guys! Been slacking off painting-wise. I am sure I am the slowest of us all.

Hi! Ngai.
The beautiful skin tone.
It's delicate and is the wonderful color.
