Despite not being able to see the front, and the poor exposure on the photography, it looks like a pretty decent mini. The skin and backpack look great. In the absence of better pictures will give a 6, but likely to be higher with better pics
Hi Maenas, thanks for the comment. I was actually struggling with insufficient light, or so I thought, so I was using the high contrast special feature on the camera. Hence the over bright look. Good point about the varnish btw.
I would say that this picture is clearly overexposed... too much light or too much exposition time. Try to adjust it ;)
Your experiment with the inks is interesting, but it does not look like a finished model sorry.
Keep experimenting though you can get to a better result on subsequent opportunities ^^
Oh! and if you are going to play with them don't forget to varnish since washes and inks are easier to "erase" than regular paint.
