I was struggling with how to paint her knee-boots. Really pleased I've read them as a booties, greaves and socks combo. The checkered socks make her look celtic (a bit, a really little bit!) imo.

I might make the cuffs of her booties lambswool, in a nod to the chilly weather...
Oh, I DO like her tartan socks!
Any reason for the green for the gloves and 'other' bits? Is that another base colour, or are you not going down the chainmail bikini route?

I tend to block in colours as I go. Not always the right colours! I knew she was going to have strong greens, so I blocked in lots with that. Short answer: the gloves aren't going to be green.
The bikini is green chainmail. No metallic (or nmm) finishes yet.
The socks were based in black-brown, the worst possible base colour for the finished effect!
Your painting skills a very evident.
Clothing, and I use that term in the vaguest sense, coming along nicely.
Being very blocky and 'untextured', the hair is going to be an 'interesting' job
But then I've done a few hairstyles myself with a certain lack of detail definition

She's had a shampoo and set!
The ridiculousness of this sculpt (nearly naked Amazon in snowy landscape with massive bottom, c'mon!) made a cartoon style finish an option, and the hair works well like that, too.
I used four colours. VMC Cavalry Brown overall, then black wash, then Cav. Brn. with increasing additions of VGC Scrofulous Brown, then added VMC Ice Yellow into the mix for highlights, then a tiny amount of white added in for a top 'glossy sheen'.
Looking good Paul. Painting is excellent. It’s a preposterous sculpt as you say, but it makes me laugh because she’s wearing virtually nothing, but kept her socks on……
Very nice job on the hair, though it's a shame it punches up the printing effect
And I'm not just reciprocating your comments on the hair of one of MY figures from a while back!

Absolutely. I'm just accepting that this has been a lesson not to buy 3D prints unless they're of the very best quality. I could've given her black hair, I suppose.
Oo-er! I hope I didn't say anything untoward, Steve?
Not at all. It was the Silent Mobius figures. You liked the blonde. I mean, the paint job!
The quality of your painting shows regardless of the figure's shortcoming.
I like TMM - NMM (like object source lighting) looks great in photos, while TMM never shines in pictures like it does for real. My favourite ploy with TMM is to minimise the amount of actual metallic paint I leave visible - less is more and all that.
This is nearing completion. I'm working on the snowy base, using multiple layers of Secret Weapon Scenics' crushed glass mixed into their realistic water. Has a wonderful sparkle IRL.
Indeed. Ooh, sparkly!
This is now finished - more pictures in the appropriate section.
