One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

During the latest jungle riot, where a lot of finished figures have been presented there was one who flew over the cuckoo's nest. It was written for ages that this could only be him who manages to do so.

I had a lot of fun to paint these metallics on this guy. Are you interested in the theory I had in my mind while painting those? Click here for an article about painting true metallic metals:

Painting True Metallic Metal

An introduction into the theme of painting with real metal colours.

Figure is an old one by Ilyad Games.
I am not sure if those are still available somewhere, I guess not. I was lucky to find him at the Miniature flea market on last years Painting Crusade. Sometimes you can find some of their figures on ebay, but beware they are handled like gold there (scroll down). Do you plan to come to Painting Crusade X 2013? I do hope so as the weekend will be really cool!

Stay epic and keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes
