This will be my first year, and when I made the reservation I thought what the heck go large or go home, so I opted for the upgrade request. Now I am wondering if I should email them and ask if they can remove my upgrade request. The normal room is bound to be pretty good anyway

I am a teacher so speaking to strangers doesn't bother me. Garycon was very small, and the people were all so nice and welcoming, it was really nice. From what I have seen in comments I believe this will be like that. I don't know who @Corporea is but maybe I will recognize her on sight?

according to the website the bowling alley opened the day before new years eve. This is going to be a very different con for me because I have never attended one so small. Garycon 15 was comparable I think, and it was awesome. Every other con I have attended was gencon, origins, or dragoncon. All huge crowds

I am so ready for my first reapercon. Am really looking forward to this. Got (some) money saved, vacation scheduled, been making travel plans, hopefully nothing will mess this up. Be my first vacation in about three years. Saw the other day that a new bowling alley is opening there this month, and from what I could see it looks like it is practically in the parking lot of the hotel. This gets better and better! :)

Trying to get into the Christmas spirit and use the new holiday paints. Used citadel "Thousand sons blue" because I liked the color, Holly Berry for the red, Christmas Wreath green cloak and Ginger Cookie for the skin color, Golden Yellow and Hearth Fire for the edge of the cloak. Some grey black base along with Turkey Brown and ginger cookie for the owl, and Turkey Brown for the staff. I didn't attempt the face, I am terrible with faces.

Thank you! I didn't attempt the face, I am really terrible with faces and was afraid I would mess it up. My wife suggested the blue in the cape, and when it was done she said I should have made it green. :)

I decided to use hearth fire and was very happy with the results. Here is the final product (unless I spot a mistake!)

So what do you think of using Hearth fire from the new Christmas colors set? It seems to be a sort of orange/red ish
-
I think for this particular mini I am gonna chicken out and just paint the hem yellow, maybe highlight with a bit of brighter yellow. See how it goes!

Oh, no, your English is fine, it's me being a basic beginner with lots to learn. In fact I am going to print your post and save it. I so appreciate all the people here who are so kind and willing to share their knowledge. and your figure looks awesome BTW!

I haven't heard of doing purple/yellow or green/red before, so I'm looking forward to seeing it if you go that route. I would have thought to start with either a very light brown or creamy off white and painting yellow over that, kind of like basing with a gray when you want something white.
It's looking good, and I can't wait to see more.
I tried the purple/yellow and to be honest I don't care for it, but I probably did it wrong. I mixed the two and watered them down until they were almost translucent and it turned out basically a pale lavender color. It's ok, but I think I will cover most of it back with yellow.

Thanks! Going with the light brown, we will see how that goes

I hadn't thought of that, thanks!

Thanks everyone! I kind of like the idea of the purple, I guess if I don't like it I can just paint back over it, right? Now, when you are talking brown, do you mean a very light brown, like a tan so the difference would be very subtle (or at least it sounds like it would)?

Got the base coat down pretty much. Any advice on how I should proceed with the wash? I am a bit leary about washing the yellow or white because I don't want it to end up looking dingy or changing the color. Am using the new Christmas colors mostly, but did use vallejo black grey for the owl and citadel "thousand sons blue" for the belt because I just really like that color :)

Good start! Isn't this figure Christmas Eve, not Winter Elf, though?
Oops! yes, I got them mixed up!

Nice color scheme so far.
Thanks! I've been putting down more layers, and it is coming nicely now

As for the blotchy green, you may have added too much water, but another culprit is likely that you didn't shake your paint enough. You really want to shake the heck out of it, then shake it done more after that, to get the pigments all mixed in.
In my experience, both green and yellow are pretty transparent, especially once you've thinned them. That adds to the blotchy look.
If there's pitting in the metal on parts of the mini, you can put a thin layer of super glue down to fill the pits, but you'd want to do that before you start painting. A clear varnish might do the same thing now that there's paint on her. Good news is, it should be pretty invisible once you do all the shading and highlighting (unless it's just really, really bad, but your photos don't look bad in this case).
I wondered if I may have thinned it too much. I didn't think about the shaking being a problem, I just assumed it would mix pretty easily with just a few shakes. Good tip about the pitting, I will certainly be on the lookout for that in the future. Thanks!
