This Is Sparta (almost)

 My next project  comes in the form of a Spartan warrior.  I for it 3D printed and primed before I went on vacation, then the project went on hold for 3 weeks.  As a result this project feels like it is taking forever... however I'm back from the fun-in-the-sun and project-ing again. 

The process for painting any model is to start with a good base layer of paint that covers everything - then the details and weathering can happen. I tend to do pretty simple painting techniques, and as a result the base layer takes a majority of the paint time for a model. Tonight I got that critical base layer finished.


The base layer is looking pretty good.  Its a basic paint jobs as Spartans are mostly fabric and metallic armor, which helps.

I am going to let this dry over night, and then hit up the detail work later. 

Maximum effort!
