Well all in all it took me about a month to finish

, but that was only working on it an hour or two a day spread out quite a bit. Im a bit of a slow painter but I could probably finish it in one day working non-stop.
And the red I achieved
Black basecoat
Mechrite red foundation paint over entire surface
devlan mud wash (its a brown wash but has a red undertone)
Then blood red over that and thats it. Had to do about two layers to get the even coverage but I think it came out alright.
