[Roc]

Hey Guy,thanks my friend, Always appreciate your comments.

As far as the base goes, I'm not quite sure, I was thinking of using those bases that are sold in Chinese novelty stores.

Talk to you soon.
Roc

Ciao Jerry, mille grazie, son contento che ti piace.

This is ther mixture for the green:

Wet on Wet
1- Base = Windsor Newton Prussian blue + Liquitex cadmium yellow.
2 - Medium shadows = base plus mars black
3- Extreme shadows = Mars black
4- First highlight = Base + Lemon yellow.
5 - high highlights = lemon yellow.
6- Extreme highlights = lemon yellow plus a little titanium white.

Silver trim.
1- Base = Liquitex silver oil paint + a little Chrome green.
2- shadows = base + a little bit of black.
3- highlight = Base + more liquitex silver.
4- High highlight = pure liquitex silver.
5- extreme highlights = Flake white here and there on the uppermost parts.

Cheers
Roc
