I am currently on a repaint of the hero figure Tracer from Overwatch. The final color-scheme will resemble Tracer from OWL Team «Spitfire». The disassemble was quite rough due to heavily glued parts which needed to be cut or ripped apart.

Afterwards i think it wasn’t really necessary to totally break her apart but i wanted to see how well i can paint the parts with the airbrush, therefore i took the extra-mile.

For the colors i have decided to take Vallejo acrylics which have a nice and broad supply of bright tones. I mixed the primary blue with two tones of blues (70.841 and 70.844 (3:1)). After a base-coat of white onto the legs and larger parts, i gave them 3-4 layers of the primary blue tone. The dark blue on the jacket was a 1:1 mixture of 70.965 and 70.899).

Then i sprayed the yellow/orange (70.915 and 71.085(1:2)) parts starting with a white base-coat, then the bright yellowish color and finishing with a few gradient coats of orange.

Everything is working quite nicely so far, the only parts that give me a head-ache are the moveable ball-joints… Everytime i move these into a new position the color gets ripped off again. I layered them now with thin coats again and sealed them with a strong varnish.

The figure has to dry now for 24 hours.
