Guide scheme

• Manufacturer suggested finish; painting is optional. All uncoded store suggestions start unchecked.

All documented schemes

• Front/back suggested Red Sonja scheme Scope: Figure/armour/weapon/spider/skull/rock/nameplate painting. Instruction page(s): 1.
• Optional enhanced metallic finish Scope: Layer Glossy Black under metallic Silver after masking surrounding areas. Instruction page(s): 1.

Painting techniques

• Metallic armour and weapon finish (optional). Mask adjacent areas before painting for cleaner edges.; Apply glossy black underpainting to the intended metallic zones.; Apply metallic silver/metallic paint over the black. Glossy Black undercoat plus Silver/Metallic Silver topcoat, separate layers. Source explicitly says matte black does not create same shiny finish. No mixture, ratio or specified gloss varnish. Instruction page(s): 1.

Unspecified and ambiguous details

• Eyebrows, additional facial shading and fine skull/spider details outside named arrows. no separate local paint codes or formula. Do not add generic figure-paint assumptions as manufacturer requirements.

Paint and cement

• Painting: Suggested named colors only; paint parts before assembly as directed on page 2.
• Assembly: Test-fit parts before gluing; plastic-cement/paint safety notes; no proprietary cement code required.

Source limitations and material guidance

• Painting is suggested. The 15 named roles include Glossy Black undercoat and a single Silver/Metallic Silver topcoat role. The grayscale instructions give no brand, paint code, family or numeric recipe; store suggestions remain unchecked approximations.
• The metallic technique applies Glossy Black first, then metallic Silver on armor and weapons, with nearby skin masked. These are separate layers, not a metallic-flesh mixture. Matte Black does not give the same shiny effect; no gloss varnish is specified.
• There is one Face #1, attached to torso back #2. The circular head/hair inset is another assembly view. Unlabeled eyebrows, facial shading and fine skull/spider details have no additional prescribed color.
