Filthy thirteen, not a reference I am familiar with but sounds interesting all the same.

Hi Mario

All the hard work , research, painting and presentation here has made it all worth it

You've done a really good job on both Figure and the aircraft

Liking the damage on aircraft and the camo on his face

Pleasure to see

Thanks for sharing

Looking forward to seeing the next

Have fun @ the bench

That's stunning Mario. Alot of work indeed but worth it for this.
Great attention to detail throughout. Love the face and you nailed the eyes.

But the wood effect on the rifle is perfect looking.
Do you have any special technique or just work it back and forth til you are happy with how it looks?

Tremendous piece a collector would love to have I'm sure mate .

Thank a lot Kev, appreciated this what you say, and like you say,a lot of searching,struggling and other things,but we get there
and I am absolute so much surprised with al the comments,this is feeling good for me,and maybe I must stop with too much thinking about
the things I do ????

Thank you very much

This is the first one I have actually seen painted and this one has really set a high bar. The muted colours look perfect.

A completed figure to be proud of for sure!

Yes indeed mate. The process and colours etc you used.
The butt of the rifle I really like the look of the wood

 

[Blind Pew]

Totally superb work. So well painted.

 

[marco14]

Yes indeed mate. The process and colours etc you used.
The butt of the rifle I really like the look of the wood

oh boy,how must I explain this in English gonna try OK

The colors I use is Light mud,old wood,light rust,burnt umber,black red, black, german camo black brown

I start the rifle complete in black
then I start to make horizontal stripes with light mud and old wood these are from pancer aces but you must see stil the black
then I give it a wash ore glaze with the light rust and let it dry complete
you gonna see it make the things a bit darker after that and
then I start with the darker stripes , red black,black brown dry again
again old wood not to much and light mud and then a wash,glaze from burnt umber always stripes
and after that you must get a result like that,not happy if you see too much dark ore light color,go further
till you are happy and then varnish att the end

oh boy,I hope you can understand this a bit,I have try to do my best

Thanks mate. No that's fantastic. Totally understand the process
I'll experiment a little with those colors etc.


Quite funny... I was in town the yesterday day to get some burnt umber ink when I was in but they had sold out Popular colour I guess.
