OK you lot heres a pic of her before I went on holiday and didnt have time to post.As you can see Ive done the armour red and its nearly finished.One more highlight will be put on after the gold trim is done.I like the deep earthy red that Ive got and want to see what it looks like with the gold before I over do it.BTW its red gore basecoat,layered up to blood red.The gold areas have been based with scorched brown.
I quite like the look of the white undercoat on the hair,should I paint it this colour??

The hair looks like it\'d be nice in white, but something about the red rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it\'s just that final highlight that\'s missing, or something about it being, um, too red. I can\'t seem to pinpoint it exactly.

I wanna get some gold on before I finish the red highlights.Im hoping the gold trim will act as a highlight so I dont have to orange or pink it:D

Sorry Klute when you posted this last night I couldn\'t think of anything to say. (Not feeling 100% yesterday).
However having slept on it I would suggest that as you\'ve gone all towards the same area of the spectrum (Browns/Reds & Warm) there is a need to strengthen the shadows.
Therefore my suggestion is to darkline around the NMM gold with a complementary dark colour ie dark blue (or blue/black). This might just give the NMM the extra bite out from the background.
Hope that this may be of some use. :D

Catch your drift Mike.From the last pic I would finish off the nmm gold with a thin black-brown wash around the outer edges.Ill do a test area with a blue tint to see if I like it.I still think the red needs slight edging.Im about to sit down to it so Ill get another pic up soon as.
I would like to do a plain chrome sword cos I like doing chrome and seem to put some in each mini I do now.Sort of a trade mark.
