Count Binface

Ah, Binface. For those unfamiliar, a quick primer here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Binface) of someone carrying on a fine British tradition of fringe political candidates.

But let's think of the character, the noble leader of the Recyclons from the planet Sigma IX. I'd like to imagine upon leaving our planet, this noble warrior's outfit reverts to true colours; the gentle waft of a galaxy's hues passing across the once dull costume and imbuing it with a luminosity hitherto unseen.

Or ... perhaps, just enjoy me painting with colour and fun when anyone else painting the miniature is painting it in black and silver.



For the metallics, I started with a grey mixed from Vallejo Off White, Monument Coal Black and Ice Vallejo Yellow. In the brighter areas there's Scale75 Caribbean Blue and more Ice Yellow, and in the darker areas some Scale75 African Shadow to bring in reddish tones, then blue and black to make it darker.
