Default My first decal/paint job

My avatar depicts Freeney of the Colts - which is my first EF paint job in over 25 years! And very first decal job. I primed with white spray first. Then a couple coats of Testors ModelMaster Acrylic Insignia White. Then the base, arms, faces, shoes - using various MM colors. I like to vary the skin color - everyone not the same. Then decaled. Overcoated figure with 3 coats of MM Flat Acylic Clear. Helmet has 3 coats of Microscale Micro Gloss.
Specifically - gloss or flat, dirty or clean - to each his own - many teams wear the "sheen" pants now - with most jerseys made up of a few different fabrics combined.
