Definitely has the "brawler" look and impressive yellow painting I always have problems like others with that colour.

So, yellow is a color I mostly avoided in my earlier days painting. It was fine for details or some smaller items, but the idea of using it as a core to a color scheme was madness. It just didnt coat well. It was always ‘inky’ and you had to undercoat in white for it to look good. Even then, if you made any mistakes and got anything darker on it, you had to paint the white and then the yellow again. Thoroughly miserable.

Then ‘base’ paints became a thing. Avelorn yellow, is really just a bright ochre, but it forms a nice thick base coat, even over black primer. You can paint any yellow over it and get a nice bright shade in a single coat. It even can be left in the recesses and it makes a nice shade for whatever yellow you are using. It was this bit of chemical progress in paint that made yellow (and red incidentally) a viable color scheme choice for me.
 
My, at the time, very young self found enamel paints difficult to work with. I had testors for my earliest models…grenadier, ral partha, but i didnt accomplish much until i started getting acrylics. Armory i think…
