Shall we hold the Front page?

I wouldn't.  I'm quite happy with how these are progressing though.  I'm trying something new: a heavy drybrush with raw sienna darkened with some black as a shade layer I hope will tie everything together.  The skin tone works pretty well over it.  These figures are a joy to paint.

Another supporter of the "faces and hands first" approach. Good show.

Yeah, I paint from the inside out.

I'm the opposite, Splodge the big colours on first then tidy up as you go along with the little colours. Flesh -if it's just hands and face are normally painted just before end.

I love the different methods we all use to achieve the same ends.  Would you mind posting an example?

This would be a good subject for another poll. Anyone out there with more cyber-mojo than I'll ever have?

A challenge, eh?

Hardly! My kitten has more computer sense than I.

Not a particularly thrilling instalment; just the base coat of the erm, coats.  Still, onwards and sideways.

Good stuff, Plastic.

It's progress none-the-less, so not to be sniffed at.

Oh dear. 
Got a nice chunk of time tomorrow night so inroads shall be made.  Have to reiterate though, these little figures are the bee's knees.

Here's a nice fuzzy, dark photograph.  Actually the blurred image makes the figures look much better than they really are.
