Progress being made.

To give an idea of the progress I'm making, here are the 6 stages of the Thing miniature. To date I've applied 5 layers of paint to him. By showing them in sequence, I hope to give you an idea of how the process works.
Despite being very happy with my new camera, there are still minor inconsitencies in the lighting, so the colour isn't 100%. When I'm finished, each figure will get an "official portrait" with more carefully arranged lighting to reflect the colours more correctly.
