love your red!
will look awesome with proper layering!

**antman4040**

i added a bit of highlighting and then gave it a glaze. it turned out kinda shiny (maybe a bit more the kinda

) and im not sure i like it

If you're after a solid re with shadows and highlights this is pretty good (if you look onto the BA dex you'll see that they have a slightly shiny armour). All you should do is make a mix of your red basecoat, an orange colour and a white to create a bright highlight color, thin the paint down, then use a thin brush with a good point and not too much paint to create edge highlights... This is very easy if you use the side of the brush instead of the tip

But otherwise, I dont see anything wrong with this miniature.
