Painting red beard ....ideal for your friendly Highlander ( figure from Sabot Miniatures)

Pic 1: Using a dark red color (doesn't matter the brand or number), any dark red color works for the base colour

Pic 2: Using a large brush, I paint the first light or a base light mixing the base color with an orange brown.

Pic 3: Adding definition and lighter tones, adding orange and yellow to the previous mix.

Hi everyone

Thought I'd add this from PF member Viking Bob ....the colours he uses for a Napoleonic blue

The Scale colour is called Deep Blue

The deep blue had a bit of black added for the base, then a bit more black added for the shade. Highlights were from deep blue with some the lighter blue added

Cheers Bob

Gold lace

Quote " I’ll follow Cartachi’s model on painting the lace.

The lower part of each section will be darker. The upper portion will be lighter.

I’ll use black and Dark Prussian Blue to outline each piece of lace.

Then just start it. Lower left side first, then lower left and same for the top.

The lace on the dolman with be painted over a couple of days, so I’ll use two mixes of paint that are close to each other in the same range. Totally randomised

I’ll actually use a touch of gold metallic on the lace at strategic point to give the illusion of gold thread.

Here’s a picture of the Vallejo Colors I’ll use to paint gold lace" Unquote
