Roger, Very nice work. I love the "tiger stripe" camo on the bust.~Gary

Good job, hombre! What was your mix for the German's gray uniform?

Thanks Gary. I hope to have him finished this weekend.

Thanks Pete. I got the mix from Kreston and experimented a little with it. I undercoated with Vallejo Field Gray. The base was burnt umber, gold ochre, tit white with a little cinnabar green deep. Shadows were burnt umber, highlights were base, plus naples yellow and tit white. Deep shadows were burnt umber and brown madder alizarin and high-highlights were more naples yellow and tit white added to the highlight mix.

It's not the shade I was shooting for, so on the next one I'm going to change the undercoat color and play around with the oil mix a little more.

I don't think that I ever posted a photo of the bust with the head painted and attached.
