If it counts: 7 Faceups... 3 complete, 2 v.nearly done (ran out of light), and 2 yet to begin... I'll post photos tomorrow when they're all finished!
The 1st two were really fun, I've fallen back in love with the Sabik sculpt now I've done face-ups for it. I was a little worried when I didn't immediately love the blank heads but nope I love the sculpt, it was a real joy to paint! I've ended up with one that looks rather smug, and the other just plain cheerful - not quite what I'd planned but I'm happy with them.
The 2nd two were on the Saint faceplates, and remain half-complete. It was ...frustrating, it all went great until the fine detailing around his eyes got mussed - I went in with a clear-ish plan (for me anyway) but it just wasn't working. I'll sleep on it - and either continue with them in the morning or wipe them and start over.
The 3rd "Old Style" Saint, was initially worrying but then came together in the end (I think) - I attempted freckles for the 1st time ever; that went ok, I think, and there are a few mistakes with the actual face-up but I'm happy with the overall look. With this Saint I was aiming for a sun-damaged skin/gaunt look, with some sore looking areas (he's a semi-homeless drug addict - I don't want him to look too healthy!)
And the two remaining blank heads? Dollshe Van and Nano Freya! No plan for either of these two so they'll be cases of seeing what happens... But eek! Broke into my last can of sealant today... And the chain of shops that I'd been buying it from collapsed last month, so 1st time internet order for this stuff! Luckily it seems to be more readily available on the internet in the EU than Mr Super Clear.
