WIP Critique Green Beret, Vietnam 1967 (Concept Miniatures, 1/9 bust)

[kempie]

Really excited to be painting my first bust and happy I’ve recently practiced with tiger stripe camo. This first panel was a practice with a tweaked process and colours. I’ll take pics at each stage of the process for the back as well as the colours used.

Cheers,

Kempie

Always fancied doing a camp job but not sure about doing it in oil's

Still will be watching with interest.

Thanks malc, every now and again I contemplate shading with oils but end up bottling it after all the work of the pattern. I know Ski gave me some tips many moons ago. Maybe I should drag them out. And of course Malc, if you’ve got any suggestions I’m all ears!

Cheers, kempie

Nap, I’ve tweaked the colours a little after some feedback on the figure and also a little dissatisfaction with the end contrast. I didn’t manage to recreate Venko’s palette so had to tweak my own.

More info tomorrow

Cheers, kempie

Looks damn good to me as well, the colours are all in scale which is important.

I'm no expert on American camo but it looks damn good to me.

Many thanks gents, I appreciate the support. For those unfamiliar with the pattern, here is a reference picture I’ve been drawing inspiration from.

More later today.

Cheers, kempie
