Many, many thanks to you one and all (y). You guys are the reason I'm back to painting again and you're also the reason I'm enjoying it so much more now than I ever was before.

Matthew, Anthony, Joe, Ed and Tommi- Thank you sooo much. Just a few more tweaks and then on to the ground work.

Ronnie- That's the spirit. Keep pushing on and compare the yourself as you progress from one figure to another

Ron- No worries on my name, I have been called worse! Just ask my "x" :eek: :ROFLMAO:

Kevin- Always good to hear from you. Yes, it really has been like 6 years since I seriously painted anything. I say "seriously" because I don't call painting 2 legs and half a face in that time serious painting :(. Next up will be another Andrea 54mm. Either The Norse Lord or Teddy Roosevelt. Not sure which so I'm cleaning them both up while I wait for my groundwork supplies.

Mike- Thanks for noticing the rifle. It's actually one of my favorite parts of the figure. I started off with a reddish brown color mixed with flesh. I kept adding flesh to get one or two highlights. Very little blending at this point. I then took the Andrea Ink set and applied around 5 THIN glazes. For a better example of how to use the Andrea inks, follow this link:

Dave Youngquist does an excellent job of explaining them.

Again, thank you to all of you for your input (y)

Jim Patrick
