my PA Red finished

[pistolpete]

so stealing borrowing ideas from fram framson and others on LAF, here is my Red figure for Pulp Alley.  phots might not be the best - be forewarned.









this is my second attempt at her but some spots have the glitter a bit thick and i'm not entirely pleased with the skin tones.  don't be surprised if this gets a redo in the future.

as always, comments appreciated.

Nice!

Did you use glitter paint or glitter on top of paint?

[pistolpete]

amalric - glitter put on with gloss medium over paint.  the medium i used was a little thick as a couple of places are a bit clumpy.

I love that colour choice! Really great combination!

Lovely, classical colour on her dress.

Nice, I would never thought to use that color scheme but I really like it!

full disclosure it wasn't my first choice of colors either - i originally had a white dress but seeing fram's work with glitter (and one of my bad paint jobs) prompted a do over so i followed my wife's suggestion.

Nice work!

Nice job on the glitter dress. I may have to try that some time.

By the way, if you do want to keep the glitter flat, my trick is to apply it carefully in small areas with a fine brush. You will have to clean (and blot dry) between every application, otherwise it will become gummed up with the wet varnish which you will pick up in laying the gloss down. Glitter is static-y so it will cling lightly to a dry brush.

I also used a toothpick to pick off errant bits of glitter.

Thank you for the tips and the eye candy. 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Very nicely done.

I think I'll have to try this on some of my Far Eastern young lady figures?

Kimonos made easy I wonder?

Well, the hard way is also kind of interesting too:

[MalcyBogaten]

Right! Well you see...I can't do that.

Beautiful
