Here we go possibly one of my favourite miniatures from these guys (they are covered in masses of detail) I plan to do pretty much the same colour scheme shown Stage one under coating basic zenith technique (mainly to help me bring out the detail) Starting with Vallejo black primer Then Vallejo white primer from above and then on targeted details (knees, backside feet) Stage 2 basecoat of Vallejo model colour Prussian blue (heavily thinned and airbrushed on) Stage 3 Highlighting (all airbrushed at this stage) Vallejo model colour Prussian blue Vallejo model air Pale blue mix Previous mix with more Pale blue and white added done in 3 stages with more white added at each stage reducing area covered each time Thanks for looking Stephen __________________ http://s508.photobucket.com/user/sashepherd3/library/?sort=3&page=0

A lovely looking figure Stephen and a great start too ! I really appreciate you going to the effort of doing a step by step mate, it's really helpful to see how the process is done from start to finish, I'm sure I'll pick up some handy tips . I'm with you all the way on this mate Pete

Really well done so far. The shading is looking very natural already. That zenith technique is amazing.

Today's progress Face stage 5 continued In a fit of madness I decided to paint her with blue eyes (which makes her look quite startled this close up) Body stage 7 adding white plates base coated in Vallejo model colour light grey Stage 8 lining and shading light grey plates with mix of light grey and black grey, also started to highlight black sections with slightly altered version of same mix. Stage 9 more highlighting and shading with different mixes light grey mixed with black grey Stage 10 thin black wash applied over black areas to bring out details and start highlighting light grey areas with a mix of light grey and white Stage 11 highlighting light grey areas with white Thanks for looking and comments Stephen __________________ http://s508.photobucket.com/user/sashepherd3/library/?sort=3&page=0
