[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9113445, member: 4534"] I'm taking a break from Zombicide to visit a D&D classic. This is a Beholder from WizKids which is a model that comes primed. Even though they're already primed, I usually prime them myself, but this time I'm going to see how well it works. The main eye isn't green, I've applied some liquid masking to protect the eye while I paint the rest of the miniature. [ATTACH type="full" width="183px"]293861[/ATTACH] Beauty is the eye of the... no, I won't go there. I've applied a base coat of red, purple, a nice flesh color, and some green on the eye stalks. This is what I like to call the ugly stage of a miniature. You look at it and think, "Man, that doesn't look all that great." [ATTACH type="full" width="216px"]293862[/ATTACH] And now 80% of this model is done. You'll note the eye is in pristine condition having been protected from all the paint. I applied a nice oil wash, a fairly dark red, following by an purple oil wash around the mouth and main eye. The remaining 20% will take longer than the 80% I've already finished.
