Sorry I don't know how to upload pictures.

Any advice in how to paint the black stripes on head , neck and forearms?

Hi, in response to your question about the stripes. I prefer to use a tiny brush, or you could even go for a fine line permanent marker. Let it dry for a while before sealing with a light spray of clear coat, so the colours don't separate.

I would also recommend, in the future, sanding your sculpted pieces to remove the texture added by your fingers from handling. It will also give you a great surface to paint on.

Cool, what are you suing for a base? I have yet to do my Lynxo, but I would use Tygra.

Sanding really helps, I tend to disassemble the entire figure and sand anywhere I might get paint rub. These figures are very prone to that a the elbows, knees, thighs and biceps. If you take out some material at those spots, the added paint won't be in a place where its contacting more paint. It's really annoying to repose your figure and have chunks of paint stripped off in the process.
