Started some more work on the excellent figure from Lincoln Wright's company Wrapped in Bacon
and it is a pleasure to paint! I started with the eyes after the base coat. I just cannot get the face correct if the eyes are not done first. I don't have any secretes, just a thin wash of sepia extra then slow touch ups to get the iris centered and then off white to get the "whites" back. The rest of the skin will be oil paint, I love the slow dry time and the extra thin layers that can be achieved. The clothing will be all in acrylics with just a hint of oils for shading some of the dark shadows.

it's coming along. Eddie may get some paint as well.

I guess I just need to finish the entire Hasegawa set now...

Tentative idea for the pilot and SAFS. I built the base a long time ago. It's balsa foam and some bits from the spice rack. With a little work it could be used.

Ok, another one done. Just have to get a SAFS finished to pose with.

Almost finished up. Just need to paint the right hand and coffee cup. Great figure set. I hope they do several more.

Started the pilot figure from the excellent  Mak Figure set . I know the head still needs some blending work.
