    I've been starting to paint again and thought I might share with folks here. Currently I'm mostly working on Druze Bayram Security models. I've been going pretty slow, but I'm putting a lot of work into individual models and I've been really happy with my results. Please let me know what you think of them! I'll be adding things to a flickr album as I complete them and take good pictures.

    I took some pictures of the second pair I did; I've painted the entire new Druze box at this point.

    That yellow looks really good. Maybe the OSL is too intense, try to thin the paint to smooth the effect.

    I have a very long history of having issues with glow effects. I agree that these came out a bit too stark; I'll continue trying to tune it as I go.

    Quite a while ago I painted up a Brawler as well and never took "good" pictures to post here. I made the jacket the same red as the Druze's armor vest, which I was never entirely happy with. For one, it's a different material, so it should look different, and for another, it made the models look a little too similar from a couple feet away, and it was too easy to mix them up on the table. I have another limited Brawler from a trade I did ages ago, so I painted it up with a more red leather sort of color, and I'm quite happy with it.

    Shot of the first Brawler next to the almost complete second:

    I've got a better lightbox setup these days, and at some point I'll do a group shot.

    The lightbox fails to capture the colorshift effect on her sunglasses (Miami Sunset from Turbo Dork) so you get a bonus pic shot on my windowsill.

    Good job on these models. I especially dig the yellow helmets, truly an eye catcher!
