I need help on painting a metal model of Legolas its my first LOTR model that i have ever painted. help?!

Help how?

Metal mini's aren't really much different than plastic. Make sure you wash the mini in dish soap to remove any mold release and let it dry. Than prime like normal and paint away.

With metal you need to seal your paint job with a varnish (paint can rub off metal with prolonged use/taking it out of foam ect.)

cool cheers i will possibly need help what sort of colours to do the flesh and hair on the model itself. what is reommended to do this?

If your looking to recreate the studio paint job, you want light skin.

I would use something like this.
