Kang came out pretty nice. The one thing I'm not happy with is his eyes. I've made several attempts to fix them, and this is the best I could get it....for now. Not sure if I'll change them in the future or not, but I might. I'm starting to notice some interesting discrepancies with the plastic molds. In the case of Kang his right arm is a bit over-proportioned. Look at the shoulder area, that's one beefy arm, and quite a bit larger than his other arm.
Up next I have two out of three Railworkers ready.
One thing that has bugged me about these guys is that they don't look very interesting. They're just kinda standing there. Not very interesting. Very few models can just be posed to stand there doing nothing and actually look decent. Need a little action in the sculpts. Sculpts like this can be a bit difficult to paint. I do like how the red and the brownish-green work together though.
One thing I will draw your attention to is their eyes, or lack thereof. The Railworkers, Kang, and Mei Fang have all had eyes that look like these guys before they're painted. As you can see there's not a lot of area for the actual eyes, and the result is that when they get painted in you end up with eyes Like Kang's and Mei Fang's. You can get them to look sort of ok, but with both Kang and Mei I was really tempted to just leave them as is. The Clint Eastwood look isn't that bad on them, but I also want my guys to have eyes to see from as well.
I have a couple more Arcanist models to get painted, but I'm holding off on those so I can make sure I get my Guild stuff painted for the Team Tourney. Here's a couple of sneak peaks at what I'm working on (and will hopefully finish later this week).
Taking a look at Perdita's (the one on the left) eyes they look a little funny. Eyes do not seem to be my strong suite this season. I'll go back and try to fix em up again, but really the way the model is it's actually quite difficult to see her eyes.
That's pretty much the view you have from the table, and head on as well. The brim of the hat pulled low over the eyes looks REALLY cool, but as with Mei Fang, Kang, and the Railworkers there's not a lot of real estate for eyes. There is a bit more than the others though, so I hope to have those fixed in short order.
