Very nice work. Like the browns mixed into the greens. I think his white pants and boots are a bit too clean though.

Agree with Colin, those white pants got filthy pretty quickly. Nice work regardless.

 

[SLR]

very well done !

 

[John Bowery]

Well done. I agree with Jason and Colin.
Cheers

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. I will attempt the weather the winter pants and boots. Was acutally holding back for fear for messing them up

 

[swralph]

Nicely painted.

 

[John van Pelt]

Nice painting, in fact this was my first figure I started painting 6 years ago!
I have only 1 comment, the highlights under his armpit.They are a bit strong, since not much light will fall there.

Greetings John.

Great miniature!

 

[Rompy]

Thanks guys. I will be making some tweaks to it before having a friend bring it to Plastic and Steel 2014 in Belgium

Leave the pants alone - it might be early in the day. (?) Not every soldier has to be filthy.

 

[Gary D]

Very nice work. If I was fortunate to be able to paint as good as you, I might be tempted to add a bit of snow to the tops of his boots and on his shoulders etc. as he looks too clean for a guy trudging around in the snow.
Again nice work!

 

[Rompy]

Final tweaks to the boots and pants done. Packed him up and awaiting pickup to Belgium

 

[Rodney Cross]

Mate that is awesome. May I ask how you painted the pants?

Regards
Rodney

Thanks Rodney

I lifting this portion off my blog. Hope this helps. I paint in thin layers to build up the colors. My paint is the consistency of milk.

Took on the challenge of painting white for the winter pants. I think it's decent for a first attempt. I started with a mix of off white & a small amount of burnt sienna as the base before laying on the highlights and glazing in the shadows. I am leaning towards some light weathering on the pants instead of the muddy works. (Had a bad experience with mud, still not proficient with such effects)

Base: Off White + small amount of Burnt Sienna
Highlights: Base + mix of Naples Yellow Hue/ Flesh Base, Titanium White
Shadows: Glaze with Burnt Sienna
