hey man, I know your trying, and from what I can tell they look great... but we could realy use some clearer pics.
Also... please tell me your not using enamel paints? from the glossyness and the "texture" that I can tell in the pics it looks alot like the first figures I did back in the day before I knew better. I used enamel paints and they never did cure right and remained tacky. Always use acrylics, if you are, then don't listen to me! lol
