Elara is sculpted by Alternative Games, and this release is part of their growing range of characterful fantasy figures.

This guide walks you through a recommended approach to painting Elara, helping you get the best results from each area of this detailed Pin-up sculpt.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or white spray primer to capture all surface detail across the figure and base.
• Allow to cure fully before proceeding, checking for any missed recesses.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat the gauntlets and bracers with a deep steel blue or aged bronze tone.
• Apply a second thin layer to build opacity before shading.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint the braided headpiece with a warm gold, then wash with a brown shade to pick out the links.
• Use a pale cream or ivory for the off-shoulder top, layering up to near-white on raised edges.

4. Weapons

• Paint the wooden tankard with a mid-brown base, then drybrush with a lighter tan to highlight the barrel planks.
• Add a dark wash into the recesses between staves to separate the wood grain.

5. Weathering

• Apply a subtle glaze of dark umber to the lower hem of the skirt to suggest tavern grime.
• Use a fine brush and off-white to add small scratches or wear marks to the gauntlets and belt buckle.

6. Bases

• Drybrush the wooden plank base with warm sandy tones over a brown basecoat, then pick out cracks and knots with a darker brown liner.
