I’m building/painting a 1/16 figure of BatGirl (Hasegawa kit). No problem with the BatGirl suit ([:p]) but I’m not so sure about how to represent her nice blond hair. How should I paint it? I normally use enamel or acrylic as base coat then artist oils [:I]
I use standard wash and drybrush techniques to bring out the detail in the hair of most figures. Before adding that last application of clear satin or gloss, I drybrush a slight touch of the appropriate hue of metallic paint over the hair. Gold or brass would be the obvious choice for your Batgirl. A little metallic paint goes a long way toward making hair look like hair.
Test it on an old model and see for yourself. Good luck!
