This is the fourth figure for my Crossing The Rhine Campaign on Kitmaker Benelux.
The head is Hornet, hands (gloves) and equipment are Warriors and boots Tamya. The figure is a home sculpt (my first, so do not be too hard for me please...)
The paint is still wet, so glossy too...when dry is will have a matt look, much prettier.
I primed it with Mr Surfacer 1000.
Later, the face was painted in dark flesh tones (mix of yellow ocre, burnt sienna, burnt umber, and ultramarin blue, white). A second layer is already painted on, lighter flesh tones, more white added this time.
I always thin down my paint well, I do not like thick paint on a figure.
The painted face is drying now, so I can proceed later to finish it a bit more.
The helmet, clothes and shoes were painted in dark tones. I used ultramarin blue, yellow ocre, burnt sienna, burnt ocre and emerald green in different combinations to obtain many tones.
To finish this first layer, I dab with a soft paint brush in the paint, so a very fine structure appears. The later layers of paint will adhere better.
It's a way to remove the exess of paint too. What rests is a thin base to proceed on when dry.
Tomorrow I'll try to show new pics.
Of course I hope that this will help other modeling friends here !
