bcauchi wrote:Hi Ray, Tankred mentions a pdf which seems to include painting techniques for figures just like the one you are doing. Do you think i could somehow have a copy? I have two resin ladies which i need to paint for our friend Brad one fine day and i am still trying to figure out how to do them.

I'll second that if I may

bcauchi wrote:Ray, i suggest you take a look at this, there are some beautifully painted ladies on this site, the figures themselves are gorgeous, they look really high class and they are very nicely painted IMHO at least. The only thing in common with the models i make is that some of them have wings. The only reprieve here is that they are fantasy and i cannot be told that i used the wrong colour. Check this out, it might help you with some of the decisions you might need to take when painting the figure.

Thanks mate......really interesting......Mike Cusanelli is World Known and he created some very beautiful pieces there

alex wrote:have you started to airbrush the lady yet?

Problem seems a week of problems

Compressor not ready yet as old connections screwed the motor, so awaiting a replacement motor

Also I need to buy a new air hose as the old one is screwed from both ends of the hose

Joseph is going to check if he's got a spare one, so I'll get one either from Modelshop or I send for one

Thanks a lot for your kind offer Ivan, but today dawned a bit of freash air as motor is OK after all should be mounted and pumping air into the reservoir soon

Also, Joseph had a brand new badger hose pipe which I'll be using

So to date, Alex has provided me with a brand new Teflon head washer & a spare cup lid from his multi storey spare part store

TanKred also provided me with an Osprey book which triggered some useful tips on how to spray this Princess.

Philip also cleaned my airbrushes in their industrial washing mashine

Everyone who chimed in re what acrylics and thinners and all the useful gossip

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate ALL the feedback even the silent urge to see some paint on this one
