The thread where we can talk about painting figures

Thanks.
I didn’t quite meet my goal for today, but tomorrow should see me moving on to the body.
It’s really a completely different thing to regular model making. I’m quite enjoying the challenge, but don’t think this will be a new hobby. That said the models are
A. Cheaper
B. Take longer
C. Are a much more manageable size than aircraft.
Anyway this is the current state of play.
I’m trying to take the shot at the same angle each time to make tracking progress easier.

Wow. That is great work..
What I love about this hobby is it keeps you honest. When you think you are doing well someone shows you something that absolutely blows you away.
I’m just kind of making it up as I go. I don’t think ill ever be able to produce the level of fidelity you have shown above.
I may be able to implement some of your suggestions, but I’m not sure that I’m brave enough to tinker with the face anymore. I don’t want to risk ruining what I’ve done.
That said I appreciate your advice and may decide to take a brave pill. If I could get something half as good as yours I’d be very happy.
As mentioned this is a bit of a side project for me, just to see how I get on.

I appreciate that it’s all looking a bit rough at the moment, but I’m just trying to block in the colours with oils at the moment. I’ll refine everything later.
I appreciate this probably isnt the way the artisans do it, but as stated I’m making this up as I go. Also I don’t think my £12 set of oil paints is particularly helpful as they aren’t particularly opaque.
