Forgive my ignorance - I didn't even know they did plastic "Game of Thrones" stuff! One assumes those sort of things are aimed at a younger age group, while GoT is more "adult"...  You seem to be able to use a variety of materials well, and I wouldn't want to discourage your admirable creativity, but given you haven't been a big figure fan in the past perhaps it might be an idea to start with the easier worked materials - plastic that can be glued with ordinary model glue and epoxy putty (Green Stuff or Milliput). You don't want to start too small, so maybe one of those 1:16th figures we talked about? How about this guy as a starting point for someone like "The Lord Humongous" from Mad Max 2... https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MT16029 it looks like he does come with a head under that helmet: http://mfpilot.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/650x/040ec09b1e35df139433887a97daa66f/m/i/mia16029gladiator2_wm.jpg I've added these two cuties to the stash for the basis of PA conversions when life allows: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MB24003 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MB24019 They're 1:24th scale, so should match any vehicles I build.

'M' ............ nice ... very nice .....

I would use a valljo black but I've run out! not the best picture.......... had to move out, has 'her indoors' has taken over the kitchen for sunday lunch .......   next job will be a matt/satin varnish to seal it in before chipping. cheers AL Edited by london1662, Mar 19 2017, 08:28 PM.

Weekend update ............ Happy chipping!   done using 'HAIR SPRAY' (Tesco's cheap'est) 3 Thin coats leaving each one to dry (only about 5 min's) then white Acrylic thinned with water, tap water is all i use , once it's 'touch dry' i use warm ... not hot , tap water and start scrubbing away as I've said before be careful because at first it doesn't seem to do anything ,,,,,,,,,, then 'BANG'! it will chip very quickly so try and keep it controlled! ......... (Note... to self!  )...... so today will get a pin wash and some post shading ......... that's after I've ...... Hmmmm...... cut the grass ..... wash up! we were 'Bad' left it from last night .... "£$% it! .......... sorted the rocker'y out.... more like a small mountain! trimmed the edges..... been shopping.... cleaned the car out from all the work stuff ........... and reset our other laptop back to windows 7 from windows 10 .... hate it! ............. so ......... cheers guy's have a quite weekend!

Weekend update 2 ..... post shade of Vallejo burnt umber and then a light going over with Tamiya NATO black just to bring out the shadow a bit more ending with a Oil pin wash simple mix of burnt umber and black mixed with odorless turpentine, has i didn't have a gloss finish i go around the areas i'm going to pin wash with neat turp's this helps the wash to flow better other wise it can stain the paint a little too much.........   WHY? do these builds seem to Grow in size!......... that's the cooker it's sitting on!.......................... and you may notice i'm using all different makes of paint etc..... i'm simply running out of everything!  cheers AL Edited by london1662, May 18 2017, 07:47 PM.

cheers guy's........ Mr Clean... go for a black undercoat... I really hated that red Primer after I had used it  infact it's in the bin! it took age's to get the rust Base how I needed it, black is much easier to start from. it's back to black undercoat, instant shadow and gives the colours a deeper stronger tone.
