I had a little down time yesterday and decided to paint up a few minis. Two are by Heresy Miniatures. The Leeloo look alike is called Ellie Mental and the Korben looking one is called The Major. The other one is "The Fool" from Kabuki Miniatures. All 3 miniatures are metal.
I did my best to imitate the outfits worn by the characters in The 5th Element. I did a decent job overall. The Fool was painted flat black, The armor was painted with a metallic carbon paint. The blades, gun, and mask were painted silver and the eyes were painted red. Everything was given a black wash and then I went back in and added highlights. The base was painted in a variety of shades of gray with white highlights.
I like 'em. They look good. A productive day all-in-all.
