Cheers Bob! Nothing too complicated for my redcoats really. I always start with a mix of Humbrol scarlet 60 and a dab of track colour 173 (a dark brown) to give a dull brick red tone. Highlights are just with Humbrol flesh 60, pushed a bit more to get the faded look. Regards PeteLooking good Pete, nice faded red on the right, what colours are they. I always fail at faded red.

Bob
Thanks! Regards PeteVery nice paintwork so far
Thanks Warren. I have a very short attention span but probably concentrate too much on each area sometimes! Once it starts to come together it's a good technique but it is hard to judge highlights and shadows sometimes when the whole area isn't being done at the same time. Still...it's how I roll! Regards PeteIts getting there.. Interesting, how you work, doing bits of the jacket at a time.. Maybe I rush to much.. I would do the jacket all at the same time.. But I dont get the results your achieving..
Cheers Bob! I have been studying your version along the way for some hints. Regards PeteThe shako looks really good Pete and the face, he looks pissed off.
The faded part on the tunic is spot on. looking forward to more.
Cheers Nap for the encouragement. Regards PeteHi Pete
That's the pics sorted now , do like the way you paint , lovely facial work and the faded areas add interest and work with the figure
It's interesting to see how we all approach a project as well
