My favorite part on this miniature is the big gold bit that holds her hair back. I painted it in the Non Metallic Metal style, so it's not actually shiny! I think it came out really well.

It's really cool to see the progress I've made in miniature painting over the span of a year! Obviously I've still got a lot to learn but the difference is definitely visible!

Well I appreciate your recommendation all the same, thank you!

I actually have yet to use anything other than Vallejo, since my local model shop doesn't stock a ton of anything else, but I've heard some good things about the AK acrylics. I'll look into them!

When I was doing my 109 in similar colors I also found that the Vallejo Model Air equivalents didn't seem to be the proper colors either, and had to mix my own colors according to references. Don't know why that is...
