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 ElrathI 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!

Edited by Iluvatar66Awesome job!
I've just added the tutorial about MHD-19
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
