Ola guys
I haven't painted a figure for some weeks and decided to pick one from the stash. This is a Bravo 6 figure that I wanted to paint for a while. And while I was at it I decided to document every step. I'm by no means an expert but maybe it is of use to somebody who wants to give figure painting a try. The pics differ a bit in color as they were taken at several times of a few days so light conditions changed a bit here and there. Still I think the step by step is clear enough. The paint used in question is Humbrol Enamel and in the images I try to refer to the paint numbers I used.
This is the figure.
And from here the fun starts
Next up the tunic. If there are any questions on the pics above by all means ask and I will answer where I can.

Robert, cheers for the step by step fella, I'm just getting into painting figures seriously and this is a great help to see it all come together slowly.
Keep it up.

Ola Guys
Thanks for the replies. Really appreciated.
@ Dan
Glad you like it. And I hope it will come in handy. I always love seeing other people's figures and already looking forward to your future endeavours.
@ Jerry
Never left the stage mate Allthough I have to admit that because some other scalemodel related issues I have been spending some time in the shadows. Mastermaking is a time consuming thing. And I'm glad you like the tutorial.
@ Christopher
Thanks for the compliments and glad you like the format. That's the nice thing when you start out with an actual plan. You know what to photograph. when and how to photograph it. The next stage should follow quite shortly after the first one. The tunic is painted and the pics are taken. Only need to make the tut pics.
