Welcome to my latest painting guide! Two of my all-time favourite X-Men hit the painting table.
I need your support. Because my guides takes time and supplies to do, any support you can offer would mean the world to me. A supportive message in the comments is enough, but if you have the means why not send me a gift on Ko-Fi or PayPal. Thank you!
Prep: Fully build both models. Undercoat black.
