Sorry, clicked too soon. Thanks for the link, and I will post information also. I am a bit of a reference geek. Tony

Man, you guys are awesome! The time you took to put the images together and the assorted information - damn generous, thank you. I found a used "Brassey's" book on WW1 German uniforms, and bought it, then found another on just USA Doughboy uniforms and patches... PayPal can be dangerous...

I have always got great service from John - I tried his website, and had to go through the back door to view it, but it does appear to be down. email:[email protected]

Gentlemen, ich danke Ihnen sehr für die Informationen, ist das, was ich brauchte! (Gentlemen; thank you very much for the information, this is what I needed!) Bitte entschuldigen Sie meine offensichtliche schlechte Deutschkenntnisse. Es ist schon lange her, seit ich mit WBK 5 arbeitete in...

Well, I've discovered that I'm a midtone, highlight, then shadow painter (triad) + 1 extra dark + 1 extra light. I suppose a lot will depend on what color of primer you use, (e.g. Marion Ball primes black) I've also noticed that I go back and forth, increasing layer upon layer, until one of the...

Doing research on my latest project, I came across these sites that I felt were pretty good. I'm not an expert, not a collector, nor a scholar - so if these websites are garbage, don't pay attention to them. I hope they will have some merit for you in PFworld. Tony S...

REFERENCE QUESTION: Is there a separate topic area for reference questions? If not, I would be happy to start one up. I bought this Metal Modeles 54mm German Officer 1914 (http://www.metal-modeles.com/en/) and would like to have him in the Prussian uniform of 1914. I "think" he is wearing the...

This is fantastic - art & history meshed together to create a piece of sculpture. Top notch. To honor those that serve through art. www.tonystencel.com

Need some ideas on what primer is best for metal & resin figs. I've used Tamyia, but it seems the acrylic paint "beads up". To honor those that serve through art. www.tonystencel.com

Look at the Reaper website for color ideas. They have some terrific blues, especially if you want a weathered blue (pants). They have a "program" to import an image, and pick out colors in the image, which will match these colors to their paint line. To honor those that serve through art...

Way too realistic. ;)- To honor those that serve through art. www.tonystencel.com

The face only a mother could love. This figure is strange enough to make a cool diorama. Great job! To honor those that serve through art. www.tonystencel.com

Great ideas Einion - a lot depends on skin tones I suppose, and I rely on images from Angus McBride for reference. I'm working on a color chart, based on the triad paint concept, that will describe formulas for various skin pigments (e.g. North European, Hispanic, Olive skin, Asian, etc.) using...

Amen to that! I was never so happy until I found out that 90% isopropyl alcohol takes of acrylic paint! Here is the common scenario: Too dark, too light, not enough contrast, too much contrast, 5:00 shadow is wrong, eyes are crossed, buggy or too small, now the paint is too thick - looks like...

All around excellent! To honor those that serve through art. www.tonystencel.com

Thank you Sir! I have more color theory books than you can imagine! I'll keep all posted. To honor those that serve through art. www.tonystencel.com

Thanks to all who replied to my question. I value all opinions and suggestions (even the oil paint promo ;) I really liked the comment about if the face is light skinned or darker. This comment is one of those "ah ha" moments for me, and I suppose it is so obvious that I just didn't think of it...

Yep, me too. I have switched to Reaper paints - I like their triad concept.
