About the Project
I meant to get started with Crisis Protocol next but…I got a game of this played and wow did we have fun! So, I’m going to tackle this in stages. It’s a long term project and I’ll likely bounce around to other things. Otherwise this would be the only thing I did for…a year? Longer? Oh well, here goes.

Core box gods started
Even just a little paint over zenithal makes these start to pop. It’ll be interesting working at a much larger than usual scale. I love the sculpts and, while there, the mold lines aren’t too egregious.
God skin step 3
Step 2 highlighted back up with Vallejo base flesh.
I swear I am uploading these right side up. They also display correctly when you click on them. It’s only the thumbnails that are sideways.
it’s my intention here, in case it isn’t clear, to finally do a step by step of skin to share what I do, to have a chance to assess for myself if a step (like the wash) is worth it, and to get feedback and suggestions for improvement from all of you. So go to it.
I’ve included paint numbers over in my Council of 4 project and I’ll copy the recipe/sequence here once I get to the end.
God Skin 4
Highlight with 50% Natural Flesh and 50% Fairy Flesh (both Vallejo). Starting to get some proper depth and volume going. 
God Skin 5: done?
Highlight with pure Vallejo Fairy Flesh. Probably at the point where it’s hard to tell much difference in the pics. I’m debating calling the skin done at this point although I may be tempted to do yet another highlight with some highlight skin in the mix. (Update: it was impossible to tell the difference because I had uploaded the photo from step 4. It's still pretty hard to tell the difference with the correct pics though)
Now the fun begins
This is the fun part—well, a fun part—when things start to move a bit more quickly. 
Ares & Zeus
The bases need finishing touches but these are ready for a game this evening. 
I held off on doing the whole “glowing eyes” bit for both of these. I may go back and do it and I may not.
