Ok I'm FINALLY done! Here some pictures I took of the finished product in my makeshift lightbox:
So rather than go with the VGC Fire Orange, I decided to use RMS Phoenix Red followed by RMS Fire Orange. These models aren't particularly detailed which actually gives painters some opportunities to add detail in. In this case, I stippled in both RMS Fire Orange and RMS Buckskin Pale in an attempt to hint at a scale texture. I also used gloss varnish over the eyes and in the mouth to give those bits a bit of a wet look.
I could have done A LOT more. I could have removed all the mold lines, gone much thinner on the paint in general, and maybe put some reflected highlights underneath. At this point, however, I feel it's at the target quality level I was going for.
Now on to something else!
