Just finished this guy last week...I took an Art Girona figure and pulled a historex head from the spares part box, rotated the arm back and then dropped the shoulder a little in an effort to make him poised for defending an attack. When I saw the stock figure I never imagined it would clean up so nicely.
I was very impressed with the figure; very few mold lines and clean up was a snap. From start to finish, it took me a month to complete.
During MFCA back in 2002, I talked with Adrian Bay and he mentioned that he primes all his figures in black; seven years later, I finally gave it a shot...
This is the first figure I ever primed in black and really like the way it worked out. For me, the black primer helps me to see where the highlights and shadows are at and gives greater depth to the oil paints.
He's painted with acrylics over oils.
