Very Bright and shiny. I love 'em.
Big figures kind of intimidate/challenge me...But those two (along with the Mummy) I'm gonna tackle.

AWESOME! And thanks!
Both just look spectacular. Can't wait to see the goblin on his glider finished. Spidey's perch is beautiful. Love how both are posed too.
Nice job on the painting too Dave. I'm interested to see how you tackle spidey's uniform web lines though (got a plan?).

I think a dark wash should bring the web pattern out and if I hold my mouth just right that should work without darkening the red too much....

If the wash doen't fill the recesses. Try an .005 art pen I use 'em to fill in door panel lines and hatches on aircraft/slotcars...etc.

Pens work good, also those old ink diping pens where you could control the amount dispensed with that little wheel on the side might be cool for things like this.
I think the wash is a good idea, but I may want darker lines for mine. Since I've yet to restore my AURORA spidey (bought almost 2 years ago), I've never had to tackle these lines (probably why I put it off). Tips from others would be appreciated.

I'm going to try Clear Smoke (acrylic) on a totally cured red enamil and gently rub off the excess with a damp Q-tip or damp cloth...wish me luck...because I can't buy firecrackers anymore

Why not try a red based/ black acryilic wash? that way if it all goes south you just wipe it off?

Not really, he's cool! Keep in mind that he sets this way alot! Waiting on top of the skyline looking for whack jobs in costumes! It's a very iconic pose for him.. shooting some webs maybe might of worked? (but too AURORA really)..

Good tip Steve...I might just try both and see which works best, the reason I'd try the Clear smoke is it is barely visible on flat surfaces but once in a crevice it blackens right up...I've noticed this effect on stonework like in a dungeon...but whatever works best, I'll try...BTW I love both of the poses

My Aurora Spiderman's been built since '06 but I'm yet to finish it off 'cause of the web pattern!  Every time I try to do it I wreck it and have to paint him again! I got new glasses about 3 months ago so I might try to finish him off...
I like the Moebius Spidey. I think it's a good pose.
