That will look awesome with the war paint, so much more imaginative than the cam cream we had to wear in the field!

Cheers Simon

Excellent subject, Herr Markgraf! I have some woodland Indians in the stash for some French-and-Indian War displays but haven't tackled painting them yet. What is the Vallejo color you have in the earlier photo, for your skin color mix?
Prost!

Brad,
I have ued a mix of Tallarn flesh ( citadel)and a dab of Vallejo Brown, later added a little bit of burnt red.

I can't wait to see your FIW figures!

 

[MarquisMini]

Groundworks done, may need to fix here and there but virtually done.
For the huron i used a mix of basic red and burnt red for half of the face, lower portion of the face i used Vallejo German grey.

 

[Briggsy]

That looks good againt a natural back drop and the Huron fella is looking nice. Making the face paint look right must be quite taxing.

Cheers Simon

Thank you much Simon, Kev, Malc, Nigel and Brad!

Made progress on these chaps.
All base colors are painted , only the caps have been finished.
Next i will work on their faces and weapons.

 

[Malkie]

They have the true look of marines in combat dress, not an easy thing in the scale that you have chosen a credit to your skills.
