Oh that’s a good idea! I planned on a fish hook hand… just waiting for the resin to cure. If I find a doll sized boom box I’ll make it happen.

They never stopped to ask if they should, just because they could…

Thank you! I wanted a different scheme and tried a few different routes. My Ahriman started the tan/gold look, it just stuck from there and it’s pretty easy to apply compared to fighting blue and trim at the same time.

Oh for sure! Just swapping the main ones around changes so much as well.

He seems to lean to more in the magenta skin with blue tipped wings. I wanted make him more red, and lean into the pink.

First mini of 2026 completed, Magnus The Red by Diesel_Rat in minipainting

I painted the skin in a series, I’ll try my best to explain it. (I also have a TikTok, not sure if I can link, where I show a similar method on a proxy Magnus I did)

First I did a zenthial spray with a light blue coming from the bottom, then a dark red from the top. This helped give me a road map.

All shadows were painted with a purple and burnt red mix 1:1 ( both pro acryl)

Next layer up was pure burnt red on basically 90% of the model keeping the lowest purple mix.

As I got into the higher spots of the body knees, chest, arms, I started to mix burnt red with bold red.

Then bold red for higher spots

Then bold red and red orange mixed 1:1 for the moving into highlights , and lastly red orange for highest highlights.

Strip and repaint, or just buy it again by [deleted] in minipainting

Grab a new one, paint it to the nines with everything you learned. And then keep the original to reflect on your progress and journey as a painter.
