Step 1-Basecoat. Using black spray Gameworkshop.
Step 2- I begin to paint all the areas that should be white with color Cold Grey. The jacket with the French Blue. The collar and cuffs with Scarlett Red, and finally the face and hands with Dwarf Skin. Remember that when you paint, you have to separate all the
different areas so that we can see a thin black line.
