Sergeant 6th Inniskilling Dragoons

[mick3272]

Hi guys, really glad you like it
As requested here are (more or less ) the mixes used:

- base: Vallejo 70614 IDF Israelí Sand
(that color is polyurethane acrylic, supposedly not designed to be thinned or diluted, but works perfectly mixed with other regular acrylics, or diluted with vallejo glazing mediums)

- Light:Mig 038 Light Wood
- glazes for intermediate lights/shadows: Ak 3082 ww1 British uniform lights
- shadows: Ak ww1 british uniform shadow
- Extreme shadows: Ak 3123 russian uniform shade (or any dark drab green)

Hope it helps,
Cheers

Gerard

Hi Gerard.
First I would like to thank you for undertaking to do the Box Art, I'm sure your pains taking work will launch Mick's Mick's to a whole new level.

I said in an earlier post. That I had seen some first class work carried out on PF by various artist, and also some of your work you have done for Ian, But this is outstanding. As Viking Bob said the only think wrong is its not breathing. But we have to leave a little to the imagination.

I hope you enjoyed painting him and bringing a piece of resin to life.
Thank you
Mick.

PS I'm sure your mix will be followed.

Thanks for your words Mick. Let's me say the chances of bringing a piece to life are a lot easier for any painter when Pavol is behind the sculpting job!

EXCELLENT excellent leathers!!!

It's so hard to paint a drab khaki colour and make it interesting...

Great painting, I love those matt finishes on the uniform giving the cloth an excellent appearance, I wish that I could achieve this so if you have any tips on how to get total matt it would be a big help.

Hi Terry if you ask Gerard I'm sure he would give you some advice on how he got his finish so matt.

HI Terry: Airbrush with AK ultramatte varnish (dilutted at 50%) and you'll get the total matt you're looking for

Thanks for the offer Mike. But the series will all be busts, so I intend to keep them so.
However like Jimbo I will be pleased to see these or future releases with legs if someone wants to convert them.
