@Nap:
As with my Rorke's Drift figure I had a hard time doing the reds to my liking, painted it a 2nd and a 3rd time over...
Started with Vallejo Dark Red, getting more and more Vermillion on the highlights, making several washes with this color to unify the shadows and highlights. Adding more Lime Green to the highlights (will become a lighter red/orange...) and ending by adding Basic Flesh for the extreme highlights. Inbetween and back and forth adding a wash with pure Vermillion. Extreme shadows where made by Black Red again mixed with German Camo Black Brown.

Hih
