Time to get all the Caucasian flesh done. Doc Ock came with his face painted so I left that alone. I should probably have painted it though. I went for the Cygnar flesh scheme from Forces of Warmachine – Cygnar, by Privateer Press.

It was too early in the evening to quit, but bedtime was on the horizon so I went for a quick task: Black Widows hair. on the box art its a reddish brown. I wasn’t overly keen on this. I have a good recipe for a very orange ginger hair, but it didn’t feel right. I googled for comic pics of her and she has vibrant scarlet red hair. Lets do that. She needs some colour to her.

That’s 6 evenings work invested on this project. She’s nearly finished so next time I sit down I’ll finish off her holster and her belt and that’ll be one less in my painting queue.
