So I tried this. Red brown as a base coat. Then I added a bit of basic skin tone and dry brushed it on. Then a bit more skin tone to the mix and dry brushed that and so on building up the flesh colour. ![](https://i.ibb.co/QYH74fL/CB4109-D3-924-B-4-D5-B-AE34-37-B4-FC2952-F8.jpg) Then I touched it up with a brush, did the hair and eyes and… ![](https://i.ibb.co/7SsTDrw/57-E7115-D-AD4-F-4580-8449-8-A76-E0393895.jpg) What does the panel think? It is not as clean close up as I would have liked, but it will do for now.

Thanks Paul. Used red brown and this time I gradually added sunny skin tone to build up the highlights. ![](https://i.ibb.co/5Mffy6h/3-F1-AE5-B8-05-A6-4-D71-B815-53-F5-BEE3-DBE5.jpg)

Much better with the softer shading on the chin.

I agree with the panel, Tommy! Nice job with working out those highlights and I think he looks excellent, so far.

Well, this GSW stand is stable, but a bit too heavy to hold in the hand. ![](https://i.ibb.co/QmhVQJH/IMG-5175.jpg) I think the original idea is to have it fixed in place by screwing the base to a table. Screws are included for that purpose. I might try and remove the clamp from the base so it is easier to hold in the hand and suit my way of painting.

That looks like a rather posh piece of kit Tommy ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

For Robbo mostly, an SBS. But will it work on such cheap shoddy figures? Only time will tell. Anyway, first off after a good clean up to remove any seams, a rod up the bum and a stand to hold the figure in place. The stand is crucial! It really helps and is definitely worth the investment. ![](https://i.ibb.co/dLbkKX3/IMG-5351.jpg)

Thanks armorguy. Using these colours ![](https://i.ibb.co/gvrMRWq/IMG-5356.jpg) Using thinned paint: Paint everything black with the brown. Paint the highlights with the kislev and the rest with the cadian. ![](https://i.ibb.co/kBGGTjM/IMG-5355.jpg)

With 50/50 brown and cadian and 50/50 cadian and kislev ![](https://i.ibb.co/nPJbc1f/IMG-5357.jpg) Paint where the two colours meet as a first step in blending. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Zdd61Z4/IMG-5358.jpg)

Then it is “just” a matter of going backwards and forwards with the colours, blending, highlighting and darkening until you are happy. With some red and a flesh tone do the lips and cheeks. Eyes with off white and an iris colour. ![](https://i.ibb.co/JmvB7XT/IMG-5361.jpg)
I will see in the morning after fully cured.
