This is a Republican Roman Centurian,who lost his head to an angry Celt.
Just kidding.
I've had this figure sitting on my work bench for some time, I finally decided to finish him.
1- a) Brushed the armor with a swuede brush.
Burnished the armor 000 steel wool.
c} Washed it with warm water and Ivory dishwashing detergent,make sure you
you rinse well.
d} gave the the armor numerous controlled washes of Ivory black mixed
with turps.
e} When dry I burnished the extreme highlight points with the end of a knitting
needle.
f} weathered the bottom half of the armor with a wash of raw Umber. Did not
apply sealer beacause I wanted a tarnished look.
2- Cape
a} Undercoated with Joe Sonja's Napthol red. acrylic paint.
B} mixed Cadmium red + Cadmium red deep for base color.
c} medium shadow, Cadmium red.
d} deep shadows, Alozzarin crimson.
e} extreme shadows, Chrome green.
f} medium highlight, Cadmium red.
g} extreme highlights, Scarlet red.
h} while still wet I applied dirt and mud to the bottom or where
desired,I highlighted and shadowed the mud and dirt as much as
possible.
i} Put figure in oven to dry at a low temperature of 140 degrres for a couple
days to eliominate the sheen.
3 Read leather
painted the red leather same way as the cape,except for the base color I
added a touch of allizarin crimson and a bit more of cadmium red deep.
