I agree about the abdomens; in fact, when I first saw these figures I assumed they were bees becuase of the built in stripes. It was only later I found out they were supposed to be flies. <br /> I found the heads/mouths in general to be a little hard to decipher. I think that's kind of why I just painted it all black and gave it a quick drybrushing. Since you don't necessarily think of bees having mouths, it was hard to draw inspiration. I didn't want to paint the interior pink or something false looking like that. The gloss varnish on the eyes is a good idea; I will do that.Chris Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462437531658180209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286868922178845340.post-6387990593439908242017-10-18T06:06:38.255-04:002017-10-18T06:06:38.255-04:00Those segmented abdomens do lend themselves rather...Those segmented abdomens do lend themselves rather nicely to being painted in stripes! Very interesting miniatrues, but I do have to say that the head seem a bit unclear - what's a tongue, what's a mandible? Maybe you could try to give the eyes a coat of a shining varnish to distingush them from te rest of the face?XarfaiEngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585730633140356451noreply@blogger.com
