    Red, Blue or Green...where have I seen this before...

    Anyhow, I think the Blue is more subtle and works better. You're right about the Orange and the Gold Areas...it's a shame too. The Red still looks off to me. Then again, i'm sure it would look different in person.

    I like the blue out of those shots. all three of those look better than the purple IMO.

    The red while being the hardest you say to pull off should be the most rewarding. It is a good color and the green is made to seem less bright. Thus the eye is only trying to focus on one point and not many all at once as was the problem with the original paint scheme. If anyone can pull off that shade of red I am sure you can. As a side note nick does make a point of the model does have some innate design problems. For me I would say its the awkward looking flanges around the joints. But again this is a side note on preference of the model and not the paint so ergo off topic. Either path you choose best of luck and yes indeed less pastel please.

    Although it would make for a great "Elves in Santa's Workshop" theme army.

    Doesn't someone local have a similar Fantasy army? (though I think they're orcs and goblins ...)

    Thanks for the input. I think I'll go with blue since it sounds like that's the safer choice.

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."
