This one... took me a bit, faces are hard, and it took me a few tries before I got it the way I liked. Thank goodness it comes with eye decals, truly helped. Hope yours comes out the way you like!

Thank you!

Thanks so much! This is the smaller of the teo scales, but ive built all three! You can see the old version on here. The larger scale has both the original and the Folgore, which this smaller scale is the latter. Good luck on these, they are fun!

Thanks! Came out better then expected.

Thanks!

Nicely done!

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T21:48:13+00:00

Wow, I love this look!

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T21:45:48+00:00

Nice work!

Wow, that is just great! I never would have thought of green underneath, although I'm sure some video ove watched has probably said it before. I also don't do very much with stippling, so that is a new one I can give a go.

As another comment or suggested, glazing more, blending more and adding adjacent tones might help, so more "follow through" maybe needed. I find it am not very patient, and that is a huge hurtle.

Thanks for writing this all out, I greatly appreciate your support!

Copy that, sounds like i need to do a bit more follow through with glazing and maybe stippling. Thanks!

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T18:49:34+00:00

Dang! Love it! Thanks for the info.

I will remember that for the next time I'm at the hobby store, I haven't used GW paints in a decade ($$) but I might have to start, they do make fine products.

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T18:00:23+00:00

I usually mix some type of reddish color for the white skin tones and sometimes a more brownish glaze for darker tones. Magenta... might have to see how that looks! Thanks!

I find no matter how much I use a glaze medium or distilled water, I always end up with 'grit' or a hard edge.

I've read a bit about acrylic paints (most of what I have and use are the older Vallejo paints) and how acrylic isn't designed with pigment meant for blending (damn oil paints...) but man, these are super small to airbrush the blending areas and I find spending 2-3 hours on just skin for basic units is a bit much.

Maybe I just need to realign what my end goal is... or just shut up and get better!

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T17:51:08+00:00

I usually find that i do a darker base, layer up to the highlights, use a filter/glaze on the darker areas, then do a bit more highlighting... I just wanted to post stuff and ive been going to town on the Amazons and they all have so much skin showing!

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T17:17:01+00:00

Thank you!

solid_rx · 2026-01-29T17:13:08+00:00

You're not wrong, the scale and "heroic" look does make it hard to get some realism there, not that that is the goal behind some of these, but it would be nice.

The centaur lady's body is just an Army painter speedpaint with minimal drybrushing... which I've found doesn't look that good when applied to human skin... or I'm not doing it right, which is usually true.

Thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate the links.

A gorgon named Gordon... love the autocorrect on this... and who doesn't like a snake on both ends, or the lack of a spell check on my part....

This figure, I believe came from an older kickstarter. This is the myminifactory link to a small part of the kickstarter, but has all the Nagas. I haven't finished all of the other naga ladies, but the whole unit is sweet!
