Durham Red - Painting: The Eyes

IT. . . HAS. . . BEGUN!!!

Just finished blocking-in the eyes on our favourite vampire bounty-hunter! The eyes are beautifully cast, so no problem there. Where most will be troubled is the fact that there is not a whole lot of eye to paint. Given my experience with 75mm figures, these eyes are scaled more to 65-70mm. In short patience and a steady hand will reward you handsomely--and be prepared to adapt to the limited space!!

Red has piercing Bavarian Blue eyes! I opted to use a tint of Cobalt Blue as the base, with high- lights done in a tint of Turquoise Blue. I will revisit the latter once the base application is dry.
