As you can see still more to do , the guy in the middle needs varnishing but since this will be my first attempt i intend to do a few older figures as a test first, as i think that being based in singles they might get knocked over a bit and need extra protection.
this is my new way of painting faces even though these pictures don't look the best the photos above show the end product, tallern flesh base then a orgyn flesh wash paint in the next layer dwarf flesh leaving very little of the base colour i then do another wash of orgyn flesh and paint the same flesh colour in again leaving a lot of the base coat this time note if the paint is to thick the faces just don't come up nice at all , i then do a very light dry brush of 75/25 elf flesh and bleach bone use very little paint, then a final highlight of the same mix do fine work on nose chin and highest part of check bone. there should be one more photo but i haven't done this part yet
These are looking great. Looking at the colors it is the Normandy period, the M1942 Uniform.
ReplyDeleteThe uniform used in Market Garden and later had a a darker green color, the M1943 Uniform.
The info given is for when you like to try the other color.
Very nice; great look to the shading of the folds. Dean
