Thanks, Guys
I'm always looking to perfect my displays - now I'm looking at more animated stances, but the room required to do this properly? That I just don't have at this stage.
Q & A is welcome, so if anyone has specific questions, feel free to ask?
Regards,

WOW! Fantastic! Your handiwork really brings your displays to life. I think this type of work really enhances the enjoyment of ones collection. I myself enjoy woodwork, and am looking forward to getting home and making my own display cases out of quality wood.
Excellent work, and thanks for sharing!
Best regards,

Thanks to ALL the replies of support - it is appreciated.
With the amount of interest in mannequin displays, and my own threads showing how I like to display my own collection, it came to the point where a painting thread was inevitable due to the amount of PM's and requests for a 'How To' discussion.
As for painting/altering mannequins for others' displays? I've only sold two. (Ever). I'll happily paint/alter mannequins for anyone - send me a PM.
Federico - something as simple as that 5 o'clock shadow you've added lifts the basic face to a newer characterization - I like it! I also airbrush models (- see my 1/16 Tiger. Lots of modellors in our ranks!) but for mannequins the brush gives me better control of the tones and blending, as smooth or as rough as I prefer.
Cheers All,

Thank You!
I haven't yet, but I can. It's mostly scratchbuilt, with basically only the running gear used (Verlinden resin kit - what a crapper!).
I'll post some of my models in the appropriate section later - I'm mostly a 1/16 figure modeller, and all scratch or altered.
Too many hobbies!
