Lady Mastermind

THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS RECIEVE THEIR FIRST RECRUIT

Following several weeks of Dropzone Commander terrain madness, I have been rather lax with painting the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants for the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game. Transitioning from 10mm scale terrain to 28mm (35mm?) highly detailed miniatures is tough - apparently battering them with a drybrush does not give the best results!

For this reason, there has not been a huge amount of progress - but today I bit the bullet and got to work on the "easiest" of the Brotherhood, Lady Mastermind. Dominated by black, skintones and a few details, the paintjob was deceptively difficult. These are aspects of painting that need to be done well, as they make up a huge proportion of the model. I was particularly concerned with the skintone, as I wanted her to be pale without making her ghoulish or translucent.

One down! Let's see if I can get the rest done before the next round of releases from Knight Models!

Editor's note - I'm pretty unhappy with how these pictures have turned out. The extreme highlights on Lady Mastermind have thrown off the white balance of the camera, and I'm struggling to correct it. She has many fine details that are blurred here. More pictures in better light conditions to follow! 

Thanks for reading,
