Finally got together the courage to tackle the hydra from Mythic Battles. It's my favourite hydra miniature, indeed concept, and basically the reason I made my pledge. The cast could be better, some details smudged, but it's still lovely.
I tried for a mackerel pattern, which has ended up darkening slightly (accidentally, if appropriately, to Alpha Legion colours) as I went along. It still has a metallic sheen though, not particularly visible in the photos. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied. C&C welcome, every day's a learning experience
