The time has arrived for me to clear my workbench up and prepare for going back to work but this is how mine is looking at the moment.
Work in progress, to be continued..........

Coming along quite nicely.  Your style on this figure reminds me a bit of a Eugene Leliepvre which is perfect.

I have not had time to get to mine - buried in a commission of Buck Rogers figures - but, will be paying close attention to your approach.

Here is the missing attachment (I hope !)

Hi all
Here are my first steps
Let's say first that the figure is marvellously engraved ( Frank)
It deserves a very carefull cleaning and a very light undercoat
The face is very thin (don't forget the little mustach)
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
The coat is not easy with stripes of very near colors : silver, blue, black
As usual I started by blocking the colors
I used cobalt blue, highlighted white and shadowed ultramarine
Silver is payne grey and white
Black is black
The pictures show different steps and whre I am tonight

I still have to work a little tonight to smooth the paint
Tomorrow I will deepen shadows
