McMourning left the barn with the slightest of smirks. Only Sebastian knew the doctor well enough to recognize the joy and excitement felt by his mentor. “Back to the lab, Sebastian.

I love this model. It is one of the rarest Malifaux models in the wild. This is my second commission to paint her. Below are detailed pics and the WIP shot along with the paints used. Enjoy!
Normally I paint each section/color from base coat up through the highest detail. I was not sure my Yellow/Blue/Violet triad would work on her so I decided to base coat her first.
Once I could imagine her with the colors I pushed in my normal process. I always paint in to out. In her case the most “in” was her flesh and hair.
Next were her pants and shirt
Then the leather!
Then work on the metal and yellow plating
Then on to weathering the yellow plating
Finally the book and the weapon
Wow – you made it all the way to the end???!!!
I finally finished off all of the Forgotten keyword models for Molly in Malifaux. Here are the Night Terrors by Wyrd Games.
