Thanks Spry! Glad you like her! Her comics are so crazy--each panel is jam-packed full of wild and crazy stuff, my version is slightly toned down, but I think the details make up for it. Glad you like the rocket bra! I was really getting burned out by then.

great little figure AFE.   good use of the maris brood body.

Hate having to paint that much skin tone.  It looks like you have the same problem I typically do, your paint looks clumpy.

You might try painting the skin tone areas first with a white or light grey primer, then painting over that with the proper skin tone paint...

something else that has been recomended to me is to heat up the bottle of paint in the microwave for a few seconds and stir it thoroughly to remove the clumps.  I've never tried that myself, but it makes sense.

definately don't use the clumpy paint at the bottom of the bottle, try to stir it up as much as you can to get a smooth application.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to check in and report that I just graduated from college and have some free time to work on the many WIPs I left in storage before I went back to school. Hope all is well with everyone and that you've all had excellent holidays. I've got Sandos, smugglers, and bounty hunters to work on and lots of vehicles!

Also be sure to check my sales pages. I am still selling my entire modern star wars collection!

I'll be back soon!
