Hi Laurent, I've used mainly a mix of ( vallejo colors) russian uniform70924 with a bit of tan earth 70874. Used Sky grey 70989 on that mix for lighting for desaturating even more the tones

Hello Gerard, Thanks for sharing your tunic mix. I've added it to my uniform file. Great colors. Regards, SG

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Very nice indeed Gerard ,Great flesh tones ,you will need to buy a bench drill though so you can drill a perpendicular hole on your angled bases Just funning

I know, I drive the black&decker better when drunk ..but it wasn't that night
Now I'm trying to repair the mess by simulating a layer of desert sand on the top side of the base. Think it may look interesting

 

[ubbi]

simply..wonderful !!

 

[Aveleira]

I think it's Outstanding!!! Good painting, right colours, the face looks great... Again Very Good.

Regards

[John van Pelt]

Indeed a superb job!

 

[Wellington 33 & 76]

How do you paint like this!!!!!! This is a great job well done

 

[Tarracus]

Hi!!
Just a little experiment here:
Since I've been painting only busts for quite some time, now I miss a little the fun of making groundwork . So I said to myself, why not on a bust base?? (Also to hide my crappy work when drilling the hole on the base, as Ron noticed)
Although it looks better in live (in the photo has lost some sand grain detail), I still don't know if it has been a good idea or perhaps a "groundworked" bust will always look weird..??
Any opinion?
(Painting process not finished yet)

[Joe55]

Hell ya! Brilliant! I think its a great idea and you pulled it off very well . Oh, and the nameplate looks cool too!

Hello Gerard, I like it. I think it works with this DAK soldier, and compliments your nameplate. If this were a winter bust, snow would look only like a white base. Nice idea Gerard. Regards, SG
