Painting Groot - Marvel United: Guardians of the Galaxy Remix

Painted up my first expansion figure, Groot! I was tempted to call him done after airbrushing, but I'm glad I kept pushing the highlights and got him to where he is. Hope you enjoy it and find some helpful painting tips!

Marvel United Core Villians

Ultron

I got my Core Box of Marvel United in the wave 1 of two wave shipping. I chose to paint Hulk, Red Skull, and Ultron first, who oddly enough all have roughly the same pose. I'd been searching for the right green color paint in preparation for Hulk, and decided to use the Vallejo Model Air Olive Green from the Model Air starter box. 

This looked to be the easiest to paint of the bunch. I decided early that I'd be doing him with metallic silver paint, instead of the NMM I plan to use for the rest of the box. Too much metal on him, and I wanted to try the Vallejo Air silver through my airbrush. I primed him completely black, as metal paints look much better over black.
