Many, many thanks to you one and all
. 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"
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
