For the last several months I have had a hankering to paint some larger scale figures like 54mm, 70mm, and 90mm. The problem is there is not a lot of options in the sci fi range, or nothing to excite me enough to buy one to paint. I have looked at Andrea and the Dark Nova series, kind of...

Redfinger's Update 9/23 I figure I have enough things going on that I should start an update thread instead of posting progress of single things in multiple threads, I dont know if it is possible to merge threads, but if I mod can do that it would be great!! I have my 120mm Space Marine thread...

I recently have gotten into using a wet pallet and doing the whole wet blend thing. I just finished this guy up and would love some feedback and suggestions on how to improve. I have only been painting miniatures now for about 18months, and this is really my first time doing a whole figure...
