    @johnb, @fiveten, @chinesegeorge - Thanks gentlemen!
    I believe this big bad boy is also finished other than the base. I like the pile of flaming skulls. LOL

    The flaming skulls are indeed very nicely done, Brian @brithebuilder
    Which is valid for the other paintwork as well.

    @johnb - Thanks John. The flames are looking good lately. I've struggled in the past.

    More painted demon things. These guys were pretty quick actually, base coat, wash for shadows and drybrush for highlights.

    The guys looks perfect, Brian @brithebuilder
    Would love to know how you created the flaming effect. Did you use your airbrush for that.

    @chinesegeorge, @fiveten - Thanks, much appreciated.

    @johnb - Thanks John, no airbrush... all brush work... I just keep the paints wet and blend as I go. Then there's a layer of diluted transparent yellow from Vallejo over the entire flame piece and onto the facing surfaces of surrounding stuff.

    The skill required to paint the detail on these larger models boggles my mind, Brian (@brithebuilder), and you make it look so easy. I am sure the only reason it looks easy because of the skill you bring to the project, but it is still intimidating to see this level of work. Well done.

    @gblair - Thanks George... it's really no different than anything else we all paint. The larger models do look intimidating, they can be a bit... at least until you start, then they're like any other model. If you make a mistake, you just paint over it. I make a lot of mistakes. I do appreciate the compliment though!

    Next set of Demons and Armored suit dudes (lol) painted. Nothing crazy, just basic stuff.

    Brian,

    I'm late to the party, if there is a Hell I have no plans on joining. These figures are so detailed with the large figure having the scarred symbols on the wings. Our they made up or do they have meaning? There is a app that can read and translate these things. Often when I look at packaging some of art can be unsettling . . . there is a energy drink that has three claw marks which demons use to mock the trinity. Little do folks know. Some fantastic work as always. I had to take some time in looking at the photos to better appreciate your work. The amount of detail is impressive.

    Perfectly done, Brian @brithebuilder
    To me this does absolutely not look like basic stuff.
