Well I tried a few things with Nigsey, but the only thing that worked was a black wash on his white diamond! So I gave him a matt coat and then glossed his nose and eyes and finished his collar with the cross. Now to carry on with Guy himself. Nemesis attached the following image(s):

So the first thing i had to sort out was the flying boots, everyone seems to paint them black, but thats for the early flying boots. So I did some research and using the figures boots I found the correct ones. They are brown sued with a fleece lining and a rubber sole that comes over the toes and up the side of the foot, zipped up the front. I got a suede effect by stippling the paint. These will be sealed now and then the shading can start as this is just base colours. The top picture is the boot proper and the second is what I have done so far.

Yep, looks spot on to me Daran, should look cool when you've finished the layering/weathering. Well done you for taking this on, I know most modellers avoid figure modelling like the plague but it can be very satisfying once you master it?

Hello Kev and thank you for your comment. You know me, I do like a challenge! I have always steered clear of figures, but I am really enjoying this.

Dare I say it, the boot zips should look a tarnished brass colour rather than silver

Good call on the boot colour, they're a hugely vast improvement over the black ones
