That's what I think of when I think of Andreas across the table from me!! Very intimidating.
Yeah, he's the spitting image of me. Muscles and everything.
The 5 o'clock shadow is actually really easy to do. When the normal highlights and shading is done make a mix of GW Shadow Grey (or equivalent blue grey paint) and black. Thin this mix down quite a bit and carefully apply it to the lower half of the face. If neccessary go back and reapply some highlights with your flesh colour.
Vince is a really old mini but I feel he still is quite good. I especially like the way his face is sculpted. It just has so much character.
Very nice job Coil! The shading and highlighting on the skin is great - especially on the face! How much time did you take on him?
I don't know how long it took really. I paint several minis at the same time and I watched Simpsons and Battle Star Galactica episodes on the computer while painting so who knows. I painted up him and 7-8 other minis over a couple of nights. He has been sitting on my desk primed for quite a long time though while I've been thinking of what colours to choose.
