Finally 'finished', with the exception of a couple of spots I obviously missed thanks to the photo *grumble*. This one took a few days due to the translucency of the blue paint, not to mention I had to remake all the stencils I used to put in the glyphs.

One thing I do not like about these Reach Sangheili figures is that their armor is not removeable save for the helmet (which in the officer's case, doesn't like to say on!). Well, the shoulder and forearm pieces technically are removable, but it takes a bit of prying. I never managed to get the forearm armor off and I still need to glue the shoulder armor back on (there is a peg, but without glue it is very, very loose).

Anyway, paints were Folkart (the blue) and the rest was Citadel.

What did you use to make him so shiny? and what did you use to keep the paint from chipping?
I'm re-painting a figure and I'd love to know xD

It looks shiny due to the paint being metallic hues (Metallic Blue Sapphire and Mythral Silver to be exact). I didn't use any kind of varnish or sealent on this figure either.

Lovely! I love the metallic sheen on this one.

Right, is this the one you got with the Limited Edition .. what was it? Hmmm, Officer? Haven't touched Reach in months so my memory fails me I'm afraid. :)

Very well done he's amazing! :clap: Ya that's one thing about these figures I had a hard time as well getting in where the knee guards are to paint in there x.x But yes that folk art paint is the only one that is metallic blue to match the color to this Elite o.o For me your detail on the armor looks easy for me it wasn't x.x The glyphs are hard to do since they're very very small.
