[Tommi]

Hi Folks
Made a little more progress on this one with painting the white on the main torso and also the cloak, the bear skin is now complete and I will be starting on the arms and other small parts today so hope to have him finished within the next week. I will be posting some more pictures of this figure in the “Workbench” section of my web site in the next few days, http://tommi-miniatures.moonfruit.com

Thanks guys for you kind comments. I am spending most of the weekend painting the trousers, I am doing small check patterns in shades of grey, why do I do this to myself, I will try not let it drive me to crazy.

Very nice, mate. I always enjoy work such as yours that uses a subdued palette. Question, for the shirt, did you start with a dark brown (Sepia, Burnt Umber) base and work your way up to off white highlights or did you start from the off white and darken down with shadowing?

Tommi,

Your work is amazing. I cannot believe the amount of detail in such a small scale.

Thanks again guys for your kind words, I am having a great time with this one, Can’t wait for the next new Soldiers Roman to drop through the letter box.

I started with a Humbrol light flesh tone as the undercoat on the shirt, the oil base colour is titanium white with a small amount of raw umber mixed in to tone it down, the shadows are sepia oil then allowed to dry for about an hour in the hot box, the deepest shadows are then applied with a mixture of burnt umber and black and blended with a fine watercolour chisel brush. The highlights are the base plus more white then white for extreme highlights.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Tommi
