I really like your ISB Infiltrators. I went with slightly purplish armor but Fang+Ironbreaker mix looks awesome and is a lot simpler than what I mixed together.

I wish I had seen your post before painting mine. :)

Btw. What brush you use for detail work like gun highlighting and hair highlighting? The brush strokes look so fine and delicate. Though I've noticed that my problem is often that I have too much too paint in the brush.

EDIT: Fixed some grammar errors.

Edited by Elrath

I use a brush Windsor & Newton Serie 7 n 0 For the details and n. 2 or 3 for the rest of the models.

They are long, have a big body but a point very small. Then many tries I think to have found the best. They are a little expensive but if you keep them well they have more durability.

(Sorry for my bad English . I'm Italian. )

That is the best Bossk paint job I have seen hands down, great job. That Dengar is amazing as well, the eyes look perfect. Thanks for posting.

Thanks FrogTrigger. You are too good!

You inspired me to re-base all my figures onto clear bases. I am loving it. Thanks!

I will never reach your level of expertise in painting sir. You are truly an artist. Thanks for sharing pictures of these great minis!

As soon as possible I will post the tutorial.

Hey illu, nice work on the mini's keep it up. And thanks for the tutorials on the less covered mini's.

I have a question on what you are communicating in some of your tutorials. When you say " xv88 skin more 2cparti of Yriel Yellow" are you saying a 2:1 ratio of XV88 to Yriel Yellow. In other words:

2 : 1

XV88 : Yriel Yellow
