CB, love it.
As for the saddle, weather it, u will not regret it. I took a fine sandpaper to mine, and gave it a jolly good seeing to.

But but but its sooo shiny and new waaaaaaa.....

 

[FLOSI]

So I was working on my Dewback yesterday and was suddenly wondering if folks have been using a mat finish paint or gloss/semi gloss for the dewback? I was using normal flat acrylics and have only gotten a base coat over the enitre thing as well as a top coat on the head. That's when I started questioning how the entire thing will look once I have it painted. Will his skin look more realistic and leathery with a bit of shine? Anyway, what have you fellas done?

 

[Crimsonbob]

I just used acrylics i didnt do a gloss finish, but mine has a slight shine to it anyway. I just gave him a wash then several coats of watered down acrylic, then a bit of drybrushing, then done any detailing and called it done. If he gets handled alot a minimal gloss would the best bet.
