That is excellent John!
Particularly like the rifle, binoculars and gun belt. Very realistic. How did you do these parts?
Your style seems to be maturing nicely!
Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks Adrian.
The rifle was primed and preshaded with my airbrush. Metal parts pure black with the first layer.
Wood in yellow sand acryl. The wood grain was done with Van Dyke Brown thinned and applied with a flat brush. Every few strokes I cleaned my brush. This way the oil becomes more and more transparant and the wood grain starts to show.
It is a matter of trying until you get the rigth effect. Metal effects with were created by using a simpel old school 4B pencil. Some highlights on the woodgrain with a very dilluted orange tone.
Gun belt also primed and then applied a heavy black wash. For metal parts I used Model Master colours. The copper effect was created by adding burnt sienna to the golden tones.
Leather parts are highlighted with orange and yellow tones. For the base I used Valley Leather Brown or another acryl base that suits me.
I gave the bonoculars a wash with a hevay dulluted mix of Napels Yellow and Burnt Umber to create some dust. Chips were applied with Model Master Chrome.
