Just got this, got the clean-up done. Primed it gray. And gave it a tan basecoat.

Went over all the skin with a very thin brown.
Something of a cross between a wash, and a glaze.
Then I darkend a few areas wtih some dark brown antiquing medium for shading and contrast.

Getting there, slowly.
It's going to take a few coats on the headdress to get complete coverage.

Well, what I had going, wasn't working. I tried masking and most of it lifted off with the tape.
So, I stripped it, and am starting all over again.
iron maiden model kit Time to try a different approach.
I sprayed the gold on the whole headdress.(left)
Now I am blocking in the blue.
First with some enamel. The shot on the right shows the first coat.
Waiting for that to cure, then I will hit with a second coat.
After that cures, then I will use the blue metalic acrylic
I was using the first time.
Hopefully, I will get better coverage that way.

iron maiden model kit Finally!
Done with the stripes (more or less)
Still need to take a marker and put some black lines in the grooves
to deliniate the transitions better, and hide the minor variations.

Wish I would have had Reaper paints the first time.
Nice, full coverage in one coat.
Then I went over it with the metalic blue.

cleaning up the transitions.

A little shading with a few other colors of brown.
Next will be a little wash and maybe some highlights.
Then it should be close to done, other than the eyes.

On the left -
A little drybrushing, then a brown wash to make things pop.

On the right -
After dulcote and a touch more drybrushing where the wash
was too heavy. As well as definining the eyes.
