What paints shoud I use? Street Fighter Kits

[dark_spidey]

Hey guys,

I recently bought the 2 Street Fighter kits that Prototypez released: Sagat and Ryu and I plan on painting them. Or, at the very least I'll try lol

They'll be my first kits so I'm a bit of a noob here even though I've been educating myself about painting statues for quite some time now.

I heard that Jesse's paints are great and the fact that they're airbrush ready seems like a big plus. For those who have a good knowledge of his catalogue, could you please tell me what colors I should get to paint both characters?
Especially the skin tones, as they are very different


Also, what colors would you recommend to paint the teeth, eyes, tongue? the small details


Thanks a lot!

Don't use stark white for teeth and eyes, always use an off white, ivory or bone, we have a tongue color in our paint line just for the purpose of painting the inside of mouths.

I'm not sure where you live, but I just signed up to go to Jesse321's paint workshop on May 17 in Louisville, KY. It's during Wonderfest. Get yourself an airbrush, compressor, and lots of other good paint supplies. Plus practice!
