Brilliant work, and a credit to you. I would love to know where you purchase your figures from.

Jaz,

You have a steady hand and eyes like a hawk !!
I have a few Langley figures, some painted from years ago,
others I still have raw - My excuse is age, you can't turn the
clock back.

I am short sighted so no glasses and I see bigger, I rest my elbow to ensure steadier, but I have a technique
Paint dark first so if later paint is missing it looks like a shadow
Then I do the face and hands and feet
Then the trousers so you can correct the feet, as smaller items are harder to paint
Then the face and hands, then the hair, then very thin black or brown or darker skin tone for eye sockets
Then the top jacket or skirt so I paint away from the hands and face
If you do the hands face feet last, you are pretty much guaranteed to add too much paint
…plus if I make a mistake, I stay calm walk away let it dry come back and correct it.
I usually wreck a white paint pot lid so the colours can stay fresh and not ruin the actual white pot

That would spoil your day! Looks like the crew got off alive, so that's good.

No wonder they are bailing out. Iceberg and fire. Suspect it was an insurance job.
