The idea of this session was to fix the 3 paint pulls along the jawline, and to add highlights/details to the shirt and jumper.
The jaw was actually fairly easy using the stipple method even tho by adding extra layers, it destroyed all the details underneath.
The leather look (to me) was next. Various jumps in color value gave me what I thought was a decent leather look. The added Agrax Earthshade drew all the colors together.
The shirt was also easy. I used a Sage Green as the base - just to be different. Then V's Pastel Green was a perfect highlight. Then I mixed Ivory with the pastel Green for a 2nd highlight. Finally I added a pearlizing paint to the Ivory for the very high parts of the shirt and I was done with that.
The final part was looking at the embroidery on the neck and arm cuff. I couldn't find a clear image of her wrist so I painted just what the imprints in the kit gave me. To keep the color going, I used a Green Black for the embroidery.
Taking a good look at the neck showed a different pattern. well, same pattern but colored differently. This was certainly a test for my magnifying visors! Also I noticed the sculptor forgot - left off the little broach she was wearing. ;)
Once that was done, the final two pieces was a can of Ovaltine, and the joke horse. The producers were able to find the vintage label which I thought was a very nice touch. They also included it both in color and B&W for the people that wanted their model in Grayscale. The horse was simply painted brown, with a black mane and tail.
Once glued on the base I was done (sad note somewhere along the lines the horse was knocked off the kit and was eaten by the carpet monster. If it returns I'll be sure to glue it back on).
