101 things you can do with a mould line you forgot to remove (Y). That beat with the mask looks fantastic. I love the tones in the skin. The metals are looking very clean as well :) looking great

Looking at the mini, it's not really clear what it is... it seems like one of those mould lines that you sometimes get in plastic that go the 'wrong' way, which explains why I didn't get it. However, it is nice and smooth and easily turned into a wound or scar. This guy will be covered in them. :)

And BAM, I'll let you in on a secret: We knew that already. ;)

ha, u can imagine BAM bitting his finger nails muttering to himself "oh no, everybody knows". I use scratches / scars to hide imperfections in paint work, casting errors, mould lines, whatever (and they look real good as well)

You guys are sometimes hilarious! lol lol

Oist the skin on the ugly one looks nicer now with that pale tone over it, I thought you were going to a more green approach but this one looks better. :good:
The metals look great too, I most of the time paint metals first because I do not want to mess up the "cloth" parts later. I think plain paints are easier to correct than metallic ones.

Yeah, if there is a lot of metal, I try to do them first, in fear of getting those little metal specks on the model. They are hard to get rid of and can be VERY visible. As you might or might not see now, the green shines through here and there, I applied the white unevenly on purpose. That approach feels a bit unsafe to me, but I don't really think I can go wrong here. Will get most of the detail done first, and then I'll go to town with various washes on the skin.

I can't work on just one model at once - I need at least a couple. The big lug is done, he is sitting in the shelf and waiting for his base. I'm gluing together bases for all of these and my next batch now as I write. :)

I use thinner to melt away mistakes (but you have to be really careful and precise!)

I voted for them all before you post them xD xD
Was only missing that sort of mini clint eastwood with a gun, and I liked it a lot ;)

I neither have a mini with 50+plus votes, my record is just 31 votes on a man o'war pegasus group that I posted this last January ;(

PD: I have been saving this comm. for four days, I could not comment either ;_(

Thanks Maenas... and now you have one more vote, frankly I haven't even seen most of your stuff. I particularly enjoy seeing how much you improved!
