I do like the sculpt, pricey piece though. Great work so far as usual. I do like MC figs.

Cheers, Ski.

 

[stu]

I'd like to know why you think its pricey, esp as its a limited run.

Hi all

Many thanks for all the replies


Despite life's curve balls making a mockery of any kind of order in my world I have managed to get the camo overalls done.

I tried freehanding the design and it was terrible so over sprayed it all and started again

I made a simple paper template of the design and used the yellow blobs as a guide to map out the pattern...

So colours used are ...

Green base AV Field Grey WW2.
Brown base AV Burnt Umber and AV Flat Earth 1:1
Yellow base AV Green Ochre

I used AV Smoke to do the shadows and then added AV Light Flesh at 1:1 with the base colours for highlights.

At this stage I need to do work on the yellow blobs and just tighten everything up.

I thought you'd been quiet recently Mark.
Very impressive,
Carl.

I am staying well away from any camo figures. All beyond me. Well done

 

[lupanzer]

Hi Mark,

I love the work you've done of the camo so far. I particularly like the subdued tones and low contrast. It looks very realistic.

 

[gothicgeek]

Carl, Ken, Luiz, Adrian, Ken, Marc and Tony .... Thank you all

I'm reliably informed that this piece will cease production at the end of the month as Stuart has other projects to sort out and the clock is now ticking for a Major event So get em while they're hot LOL!

Got a bit of time in and did the tunic and collar tabs, which still needs a bit more work
