simplay gorgeous. I have a load of Batman stuff but im trying to keep to my current ECW project. you are not making it easy for me ha

[Marshall Sparks]

Finished my five Ninjas. Just Ra's and his daughters to paint now!

[joekano]

These look fantastic!

Very nice work. How are you doing the newspapers, small printouts?

[Marshall Sparks]

Literally Google image search for Batman and Arkham City newspapers/wanted posters, etc., scale them in a DTP program, and print them really small. Use PVA and glue to moisten them on the backs and then glue to the bases, wrinkling them carefully with tweezers and an old brush. Once happy, let it dry and give it a very light wash of sepia ink. You might find its best to lightly spray varnish the paper first so the ink doesn't run, but often I quite like the rain-soaked look :-)

The temptation to only paint four ninjas and paint their belts red, blue, purple and orange was almost overwhelming... 

[supervike]

Those are lovely ninjas!

Next up: Talia al Ghul.

[obsidian3d]

Painted eyes. How the F*** do people paint eyes on these things?! I've been painting for years and any time I try to do it...just end up with a mess.

Lovely work on Talia. I like the colour variation over the usual 'chick in black leather' look.

[Marshall Sparks]

It tends to take me a couple of tries to get eyes right to be honest - it's one thing having the steady hand and 000 brush, and quite another to get the pupils looking in the same direction!

I also only paint eyes when the eyeball is clearly sculpted on the model. Some figures have really fine detail, with just little slits for eyes, and they aren't actually intended to be painted in. When I was younger I used to mistakenly paint the eyelids of those figures as eyes, making an army of googly eyed monsters

Nice work on Talia.

[Marshall Sparks]

Well, this will probably be my last update for a while, until I get my game board underway at least. I present to you Ra's al Ghul, the final piece in the League of Shadows puzzle.



And here's the obligatory group shot (with slightly dodgy focusing on the back row - apologies!)

[fairoaks024]

Stunning. Great blending, especially the cloak
