Studying Sophie

[GodOfCheese]

This miniature had some DRAMA associated with it.

 

I painted her for quite a while, and then she went into a kind of miniature limbo in which I just couldn't stand any color on the sculpt.  Finally I ended up dunking her in the Simple Green and leaving her there for a week.  The paint came off, but strangely the bones sculpt was dyed a strange orange color and its texture changed.  It got really, really soft... almost floppy.

 

...but eventually I got the fig to take a brown basecoat, and the rest of the painting process went off without much of a hitch, except the OSL.  The figure was so weirdly soft that drybrushing made it wobble.  So her OSL is a lot lighter than I would have hoped.

 

Anyway, here she is :-)

Turned out quite lovely!  I know that once upon a time GW plastics would go super soft if you exposed them to Pine Sol.  That was how you used to strip figures back in the good old days!  Simple Green has a lot fewer issues.

Thanks!  I took a leap of faith and used a really tiny art pen.  It came out okay, though the OSL doesn't show very well on the ink :-)
