Blood for the Baron!

Finally completed this after about 8 months of failures, I just couldnt get the white to look decent so decided to start with a white figure...

Sweet! what bodies are they with shadow heads behind?

They are the CGs from the 6 pack with removeable helmets...

cheers gonna have to have a look for some now

what trouble were you having with the white paint on the Baron was it the shade?...

I just couldnt get a decent finish with any white paint I tried, esp when using darker body parts so had to find a decent already white figure to start from, was a bit concerned with this one as the mould was a bit ninja like but think it turned out ok...

no it looks good to me, have you tried Tamiya paints i used their White X-2 on my Arctic S.A.S and its an ideal match to the Ironblood figure too, i also undercoated with a thin layer of white primer.

Ive only ever seen tamiya acrylics and im not a big fan of them but I know Ross likes the enamels, not tried them... I prefer humbrol enamels, never really have any problems with them...

yeah thats what i used acrylic, the X-2 was the colour number, you should give 'em a go i also tried a humbrol white on one of my tester figures but i found they were quite thick and didn't seem to go on as smooth as the Tamiya but thats just my opinion

It looks great and so do the Shadows

The Baron never looked better ! nice work.

I also have trouble getting a decent finish with white paint, especially with acrylics.

Spraying might have been an idea ? although the white parts you have used are spot on.
