Getting better and better. It looks really great, perfect work. Painting the structure of leather is really awesome. Great thread. And great guide and historical documents. :) Good job :)

Cheers Borek

Watching this WIP I have remembered to have a figure in 28 mm that could be him ... I then pulled out of the drawer and I primed.

waiting for the paint to dry, I looked for pictures and of course I found this.

Now the question is this, considering that the painting is trusted ... which version do? green or blue?

Sorry if I invade your discussion

and sorry for my english ... google traslate
 
Hi Jai

Not a problem , that's the first picture I saw ..........the decision is yours ! ...but think I woukd prefer wearing green in the forests !

There is more chance of me marrying my ex wife than changing my version ..lol

Happy painting ...green or blue

Strange as it may seem Kev I must enquire as to your mix for the ivories Kev.
I am working on a cycling piece with grimaced face and gritted teeth. No matter what I try I cannot get that Blue/ grey opalescence. PLEAS HELP!

If you are reworking your teeth then let putty go hard!

I used a Lt gray with a wash of burnt umber followed by diluted ivory on edges ..no pure white !

A slight wash of paynes gray is another option

Unless your cyclist is sponsored by a toothpaste company no teeth are sparkling white ! ..apart from mine in the morning ..lol

Currently reworking the hair on Roger ..fitted the head and just didn't look right for some blooming reason ...the air is very blue at the moment ..currently on 3 Valium a minute!

Hi Keith

For me it's best not to overwork the teeth ..unless it's a catwalk model!

Fear not all is well just looked at it he will now have a fuller head of hair !

Oh the joys and hopes of modelling ..lol

Thanks for looking in

Mmm I was surprised that I had not seen the Nap final twist in tail and here it is.
I bet that had another glance at those Wee Kiltless Laddies and went into one with the putty.
Love what it looked like before the beard. I am sure that if you think extra facial additions are needed it will only enhance the piece Kev.
Enjoy
Keith
