Well apparently his body never made it through the post , someone snatched it and changed it for another
looks like Barty had to much of this

As an eye catcher the title of this thread surely works! I wonder what the google algorithm will make of this? Will we be marked as a bunch of killers for hire or amateur Frankensteins? Nice painting by the way!

cheers,

Pierre

Its always nice to have a bit of light hearted fun in the forum , beats the hell out of the more serious model platforms.

Bob my flesh mixes have changed over the past few months and I am not quite sure what I am doing different and also a lot of mixing is a bit ad lib and change as I apply to the model , but here's the starter for ten.

Also only the basic shading and high lighting is done wet on wet , then followed wet on dry .
Base undercoat is Tamiya : wooden deck tan XF 78 applied with the airbrush , paints are oils as usual ( mainly Old Holland )

Tit white , Gold Ocher , flesh ocher , this gives me the basic tone .
from there I add various tints , brown umber , Brown madder ( just a tad ) very tiny bit of blue to cool things down .
All this is done a bit ad hoc .

I am about to do Carl Reids Grenadier bust with the shredded standard at Waterloo ( Mont Saint Jean )
Its a great face so will take a precise note of the colours I am using and post with the pictures .

RE painting with oils it is never going to be precise mix percentage and more of a feel , cue Del now

Thank you Ron, every time I paint a face, the tone always changes.
