Today, I went well out of my comfort zone - 1/16 “Ivar the Boneless” RFI

So today I had the opportunity to learn from a master figure painter, and he was able to teach me how to paint figures to a whole new level, he took me from zero to hero in 9 hours, it was a long day but worth it.

Actually I lied, I forgot I need to add some bronze and copper elements to the helmet.

Wow!  That's amazing!  Bravo!

That's brilliant, I'm speechless. The way you painted the figure, you added a lot of character. The details and hair/fur effects look very realistic. Interesting to see, that you opted for metallic shine for the helmet, instead of NNM (Non Metallic Metal) painting technique.

Cheers Rob

Thanks for the compliments, I have to give 90% of the credit to my friend David, he taught me so many things in such a short amount of time. I’m going to make sure I do a figure at least once a month to keep practicing.

Splendid!  Love the subtle shading on the face...  the most important part.
