Good thing you didn't toss it in the trash after the first go round!

Turned out wonderful Zeno!

Thanks Joe! Much appreciated!
Accidents can happen. A form of recycling is always available. Patience plays a major roll.
I was so pissed and was so close to toss it in the garbage, but...
Thanks again!

Thanks Nap! Very much appreciated!
The coats dark blue is a mix of dark Prussian blue, black and black red. For highlights I added flesh to the mix and for shadow I added black.
For the trousers I made an experiment. Trousers basic colour is sky blue. For the front I added Prussian blue to sky blue for a darker sky blue. The trousers front is always dirtier compared to the rear.
For the rear side I added less Prussian blue. Highlights with flesh; shadows with dark Prussian blue.
Weathering with earth colors.
Cheers,
Zeno
