Thanks very much Ski. I’m enjoying making progress learning how to use the acrylics. Definitely see smoother paint layers in my latest pics. Appreciate you looking in. So progress has been made on the 1/16 SEAL. I applied the OD filter and then put in a few stages of highlights over the black...

Many thanks Tony. Your varied Vietnam War projects have been of great interest and inspiration to me. Thanks for dropping in. Cheers, kempie

Many thanks Adrian!! Will give your suggestions a go at my next bench session. Cheers, kempie

As I said, progress has been made. The most recent figure is near completed. I’m pretty darn happy especially when I compare it to efforts from yesteryear. Obviously room to improve but at any distance greater than a foot those disappear. I thought about re painting the bravo6 figure shown...

Stunning Ski! The only thing slightly out of balance in my eyes are the veins on the back of the hands. They look too sharply defined and stark. As I said, just one mans perspective on a very minor detail. I’m blown away by literally everything else. Cheers, kempie

Great work Ski!! Always great watching you work your magic. Cheers, kempie

Many thanks gents. More progress has been made and I’ll update in the next day or so. I appreciate your encouragement! Cheers, kempie

I’m getting back into the hobby after years building model planes. My humbrol enamels dried up so I got a starter set of Vallejo acrylics. Most of my grey army is Vietnam era special forces so I decided to focus on tiger stripe and erdl uniforms. Along with the excellent tutorial here on...

Amazing work Ski. Cannot wait to see this project develop. Cheers, kempie

Ski my friend, been ages since I've visited (distracted by things with wings) but oh what progress you are making. Truly superb mate! Cheers, kempie

Love the subdued camouflage patterns. Hope I can do half as well when I get around to mine. Cheers, kempie

Love it! Steve Kirtley could you please let me know when you have these in stock? Cheers, kempie

Superb Garry, really nicely done! Cheers, kempie

Wow - will be ordering some of these from Steve at SK Miniatures for sure!! Cheers, kempie

Some progress

Experimenting with ERDL - applying some hints from Julien

Just practicing new techniques

I'm not super advanced myself but typically oils are applied over some sort of base coat. My own preference is to paint the oil on thick and then brush almost all of it off using another clean dry brush. This leaves only the thinnest hint of oil on the high points with a little heavier coat in...

Great job - plenty of life in a drab scheme! Cheers, kempie

So a little more progress with this. Closing out some of the to do list and trying to bring the detail out. Also, tackled probably the scariest part of the figure - it's eyes. The molded detail was unbalanced and pretty unhelpful. The end result isn't a major feature but at least in my...
