    Sab and crefigz for that matter.
    I was wondering one thing... do you actually sand/prime/sand/ your figures before actually painting them with airbrush or do you shoot on straight?

    Looks FANTASTIC!!! I like the darkness of the figure, looks very menacing. Great painting skills.

    He really does look even better in person. The high gloss is the way SS should be

    Oh crap. DIdnt see this post till now. Sorry! I rarely sand my figures before priming unless I can see some bumps on smooth plastic. Like my alternity had some ugly black bumps. Had to sand it or the surface wont be smooth. Apart from that, I prime it first. Then sand it with a really smooth grit sand paper.

    Yeah!
    Another amazing repaint from you!
    Öhhm... a little question:
    Do you paint the whole figure with brushes or do you sometimes use airbrush?
    It looks so awesome, so smooth!

    Thanks. Hehe. This was pretty way back! I use an airbrush for most of my parts. Brush about the remaining 10% of it?
