This model was an experiment: I painted his costume in greyscale then glazed it with Badger Minitaire Ghost Tints.

The experiment didn't work out as well as I'd hoped; the resulting colours were a little flatter than I had expected, with the red being darker than I wanted. Still, looks OK, if not my best.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741768/9642738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741768/9642738.page GMT The X-Men's Colossus http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741768/9642775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741768/9642775.page GMT The X-Men's Colossus http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741768/9642911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741768/9642911.page GMT The X-Men's Colossus

Thank you! Yeah, I know what you mean. I decided to paint the figures anyway because, well, I love me some 90's cartoon X-Men. I'm hoping some day to use them in a miniatures-agnostic game of some description. Thinking about writing one myself in fact; I have a basic (not very original) idea for the mechanics, but I figure I should probably finish painting them before I start down that little rabbit hole.

Thanks! I'm thinking about experimenting with lighter glazes, like maybe some GW glazes, since the red at least came out darker than I expected. The Ghost Tints are very saturated though, so I'm not sure if I can get as strong a colour with my GW glazes.
