Great paint job as always Orctrader. I like the sublte shading on the coat and the blending on the suit. Any chance of a pallet for the shading of the coat, my black/greys always come out dingy and flat looking.

Nice choice of colors. Without looking too bright you achieve quite a lively effect. Love the mini itself as well.

That is a seriously cool looking figure. I can see him in a pulp game involving airships, gorgeous dames, the Rocketeer etc. Oh dear, here we go again,I see  another project coming up. ;)

Thanks for commenting.  Glad you like it.

Any chance of a pallet for the shading of the coat, my black/greys always come out dingy and flat looking.

For the coat I used some P3 paints as I'm trying to see what mixes with what.

I always paint from a black undercoat.
I used a colour called "Coal Black" which isn't black  ??? mixed in some real black for the basecoat.  Then the Coal Black, then mixed in some "Troll Blood Base" for the highlights.  Ignore the names; just look at the actual colours.  If your darker shades are looking "flat" just try to create a greater contrast between the shade and the highlight.  That's all I do.
