With something this big, you need a solid foundation

Greetings once more, readers.  The big guy is coming along quite nicely, with the first layer having gone down before having to wait for paint to dry.  Not much to do after that - I'll start building up the highlights come tomorrow - but I do have my progress marked to share with you all:

And there you can tell the sheer scale of this monster.  Went through nearly 2/3 a bottle of that particular shade of green getting the base coat on him - fortunately, the rest of the steps will be much more targeted, meaning less paint used overall.  He's big, he's green - and hopefully, I'll get him on the table once he's all painted up and ready to go.

And that's it for today, folks.  Tune in tomorrow for the highlights and maybe even the first of the other colors.  Until then...  paint on!
