I've finished the vest and pants.
I decided to paint them in a slight different to ne of white.
For the base color of the vest i've use silver grey with a dab of stone grey.
Shadows was done usimg the base color plus more stone grey and a little bit of german grey, lights added by using vallejo panzer aces winter camo white.
As for the pants, i've use deck tan plus stone grey, shadows were added some more stone grey and german grey.
For the lights i added silver grey.

Hmm...black uniform.....i would probably start with german grey a sbase.
Add black for shadows and for lights i would add blue grey or flat skin to the german grey.
Cheers

I have completed the helmet, retouched some areas on the white uniform, blue tails and increased the lights and shadows on the pants.
Still working on the boots...
Gorget was made with brownstuff, the king's cypher was done with greenstuff.

Daniel very nice work. Your whites are fantastic, I'm learning that white is a pain to paint and that makes it more impressive.

Daniel very nice work. Your whites are fantastic, I'm learning that white is a pain to paint and that makes it more impressive.

Thanks!, definitely the learnimg curve is long, but i believe that when you find your own technique after trying and trying it becomes second nature.
There is no perfect white or technique, you make it your own and i am sure you will make a good one.
Best regards
