Hi guy’s,
After you’re suggestions I did a little more work on it.
Please let me know what you think.

Before




After








The new photo’s are a bit to red, the running gear is earth brown but looks more reddish on the photos. Still have to figure out the new camera.

Nice! Did you use flash when you took the pictures? Try some pictures without.

Somehow when you took a closer shot, the tracks looks really red as compared with the first photo that you place.

I think you did a great job on the figure painting too. I wish i could do mine as good as yours.

I used Tamiya flesh as a base color and I then used slightly thinned Burned Sienna to cover the whole face and used a large brush to remove most of it (leaving only Burned Sienna in the lines of the face an a light film over the face).
Leave it to dry for 2 to 3 day’s and then made a flesh color form oil paint and dry brushed the face covering the highlights.
It my not give the best results but it works for me.

As for the redness of the photo’s it is probably the flash.

The figs sure do look good. Maybe you could give your spare tracks a wash of burt umber to give it more depth. Try using a lamp shade (two at least) as a light source so you do not need to use a flash. If ever plan you use a lamp shade change the light source option from daylight to florescent. Experiment until you get the best pic...that's what I did before

Cheers
