Well, been working on my Pit Fiend. Gave him a Base coat of some dark green. And from these pictures below, I am adding some highlights to the wings and other parts of the body.

I started on the mouth by adding some red to the inside and on the lips of the creature. I will be adding white to the teeth and hopefully that will make it all come together. I have been contemplating on what color to do the eyes. I thought maybe a bright yellow would look good. Any suggestions?

Good start,Tom.

I like the color yellow for the eyes, really scary looking.

Back when I read the Dragonlance novels, I got into buying lead figures. I have never tried to paint them, but maybe you can teach me how. I have a Griffin, I glued together years ago, but was afraid to mess it up trying to paint. I started the Griffin first, because it is in the Collins Family Crest.

I can help you out, and I know a few others here who can as well. Just paint it like you want, and then do an Oil Wash on him to give him depth and shadow.

I just sat down after doing the whites for his teeth, Nails, and the tips of his wings. Got to let him dry some more before attempting to go any further. I tend to get ambitious and work to quick. That’s when I screw up.

is that made out of the white metal i think he looks cute lol

Tholian · Model Overlord

Yes, White Metal. And what the hell do you mean Cute.

If he wasn't 54mm, he would be kicking your Butt by now.

Well, I added some more detail. Just want to do more of the teeth, and the base, then I will Clear coat him and get him ready for a wash.

Another good thing is I fianllly got my Camera back, as you can see by the last picture, quality is great. I can give back my Friend her camera now.

Looking better now. I was wondering about the eyes. Yellow looks good, but how do you feel about red pupils? I am going to use your steps to help me later on mine.

I would say the Red would look good if it were a larger figure. But he is so small, that you wouldn't be able to tell what color was what except from light to dark.

I will just give it black pupils, and probably do that with a pin.

That is one of the skills you have to use, toothpicks and pins. It is a challange to work on small subjects, and after 40 the eyes are weak.

WHO JOKING!

My brother bought me lighted magnifier headgear from Harbour Freight. Without them, I could not work on models. And when I do the Dragonlance figures, I will need them.
