Red Sonjay 1/6 scale resin kit from Hard hero Enterprises, just thought i would give you a look at how i start painting some of my figures. She still needs a lot of work. As always any and all comments welcome.

very nice..can't wait to see the paintjob when you get to the metal(gold) parts. those upper costume are made of gold metal or something. thanks for sharing.

[rv1963]

Thanks for the compliment, yes i think her suit and sword will be in metal, the other armor and arm bands in gold. I think i will use oil paint for her hair so i can really make it vibrant. the face also needs a little more work on the shadows for more contrast.

Thanks Ian i have really come to enjoy using my airbrush, its now my favorite tool. I think for her next coat of paint i will use her light flesh tone and add a drop or two of red to pink up her skin just a bit but first i must work on the shadows on the face, will post more picks soon.

;D Great kit... where did you buy it??

[rv1963]

I bought the kit from Amok Time a shop near my house in New York, the kit is out of production the owner got it in one of the collections he purchased from someone.

any new progress shots??

BTW
What is a good mix for female flesh tones. I have a Sara figure (from Sol) with flesh base coat on and this is the figure I want to airbrush with the new Iwata. What colors should I mix for shadows and highlights. I think I used a Cermacoat flesh color arcylic for the base color.
Thanks

another magnificent peice of work, i bet you are almost finished by now too ! I'm hoping too use my new toy soon on my vampirella kit that i'm working on as well as several others i've on the go at the moment... can't seem to concentrate on any one figure at the moment!

Mozam for my flesh colors i have been using Freak Flex acrylic suntan flesh and than i lighten it with any good acrylic white and sometimes i add a drop of red to pink it up a little, if i want more of a tan i add some mumified brown a vey dark brown again Freak Flex colors, if you try their line of paint you will have to thin it a lot, i use water and i don't use their pale flesh to much it looks a little to orange, i have also been using comart paints they are already thinned good for painting but have not used them for skin tones. To mix flesh tones you mostly need Burnt Sienna Raw Sienna white any dark red. James this kit should be done already but i took a break and have been working on a Valentine tank to post on Armorama and working on my website, i will be posting new picture soon, i hope.
