Kilowog -- Painting: UCing

First of all, this is a relatively straightforward paint--as much for the undercoating as for the oils. In fact, save for the head/face, this would make an ideal first figure. Having said that, a caveat if I may. . . Over the past few years, I have heard comments about how heavy white-metal figures are. . . blah, blah, blah. . . and they were only talking about 80-90mm figures! Kilowog is pushing 120mm and it is primarily lead--solid lead! Minus the gauntlets, it weighs approx. 1.25 lbs.! If you decide to tackle this poozer, plan accordingly!

Anyhoo. . . the head/face and boots are now uc'ed and curing in the oven. I am looking at a total of three sessions to uc the main figure, so hopefully by the end of next weekend, I will be break- ing out the oils. 

UPDATE 14.07.2018. . . Session 2--the green singlet--has been uc'ed! The remaining black will be executed in 2 sub-sessions: a) the arms; and, b) the legs.

UPDATE 15.07.2018. . . Session 3 (a & b) is DONE! UCing has been completed!!
