I think you are absolutely right with regards to the undercoat on Elspeth. I've always struggled with female miniatures and the subtlety required to create the desired effect. I may have to revisit her at a later date though as an awful lot on the go at the moment.

The same goes for the excessive eye shadow that she is wearing. Harry's flesh transitions look a little more natural to my eye.<br /><br />Oh dash it all! I really do not like to offer up any criticism on what is otherwise a fine looking figure. I hope no offense is taken.<br /><br />FritzDer Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-56068476225020712932013-08-21T20:19:57.758+01:002013-08-21T20:19:57.758+01:00Thank you Terry, a steampunk Flashy, now there is ...Thank you Terry, a steampunk Flashy, now there is an idea! The figures have an 'old school' charm to them, but I think you find it difficult to find similar sized miniatures to match. It might be fun converting some of the splendid Empire of the Dead range.
