I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish- soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it. I then glued the figure to a white-primed 1.25" fender washers with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then glued the washer-mounted figure to a tongue depressor with a couple drops of the Elmer's glue.
I began by painting the entire figure with Americana "Dove Grey". I then drybrushed his top half with Americana "Neutral Grey", followed by doing is top third with Americana "Zinc".
I then mixed a little of the "Zinc" into some Black and painted his very top spine area and the tip of his tail and also around his face and ears. I then painted his mouth and nose Black, and then I painted his eyes. Next, I painted his teeth with Americana "Buttermilk, followed with highlights using Crafter's Edition "Light Antique White". I used some of the "Zinc" to highlight his nostrils.
Lastly, I painted the base White. When everything had overnight to dry, I gave the figure a coat of Ceramcoat "Matte Varnish". Then, the next morning I flocked the white areas with Woodland Scenics "Snow" flock and added some tufts of twine to represent dead grasses. Later that afternoon I sprayed the figure with Testor's Dullcote.
I like the way this fellow turned out. I think he will make quite a formidable wolf to encounter in the frozen city.
I like the shading on the fur!

Thank you! I have to say I was rather pleased with how the face turned out, so thank you for noticing!
DeleteMagnificent, but simply done!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI really like the coloring on this guy, and it seems like you could do some simple variation to make a pack of them too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I agree that it would be very easy to change it up a little to make a pack. How fierce would that be! :)
