WIP "Black power" from Bravo-6

[Venko]

I'm starting these two guys from Bravo-6, first zenital priming with GSW matte primer and white artist paint from Scale75. I really like the primer, doesn't smell like the Surfacer 1500, dry nice and matte

I will use the color theory here, with the Scale75 artist paints





Cheers!

Initial colors for the skin, I used primaries for mixing the browns. The easiest way for brown is black+orange, but I mixed also other hues

 

[Venko]

One observation-the GSW primer thins very nicely with Mr.Leveling thinner
And dries fast and can be sanded without peeling

Great work so far...

Base coat of Scale75 SW-020 Camo Italian green, which is good match for Vietnam olive green.
Of course I broke the barrel of M-16, but will fix it later
And my new homemade wet palette from food box is fantastic, I'm glad that I didn't bought expensive commercial one





Regards!

Painting the various details like boots, pouches etc.

I replaced the ammo belt of the M60 with Live resin one, which has finer detail. It stretched my nerve to the limit, conforming to the body, using hot water, but the result looks nice

I painted the various stuff on the helmet of the MG guy and added writings-OHIO USA on the right and WAR IS HELL on the left side, try to read it :

Fantastic figure indeed....could you say me which blackorange colour did you used for the skin?

In which way you realized this economic wet palette.....???

Thanks

Hi, Mario!

I mix the skin colors from Scale75 artist paints. The easiest way to achieve brown is to mix Black and Orange in different proportions. I use Vanilla white for whitening (it contains yellow hue), never pure white. You can mix skin colors also from primaries-Red/Magenta, Yellow and Blue.
