WIP Treasure Island.

Good start, like the skin tones and yellow teeth.

Really nice work on the scarf, white can be a bitch but that looks good and layering is still a great technique.

Cheers Simon

Thanks Simon, I normally go for an off-white in cases like this, but I bit the bullet and gave it a go.
Seems to have come out ok.

I've completed the waistecoat, by building up the shadows and highlights.
Following that I painted the belt and pistol.
For the belt I used the SC75 leather set after applying a basecoat of Vallejo Chocolate brown.
For the pistol butt, SC75 Red Leather was used as a base, the ware was added with SC75 Orange Leather and Iroko.
I used a dark ink for the shading, which has produced a nice effect.
I need to add a little further work to the buttons and buckel before moving on.

Brilliant work on the waist coat, the belt and pistol look awesome this is really shaping up to be an epic piece.

Thanks Simon, I feel he's coming together, but there's still so much to do.
I've begun painting the crutch, and I need to do a little work on his left arm before I can fit it in position.
So progress may slow down a little, but one things for sure, I'm really enjoying this.

Malcolm,
It's coming along nicely. Maybe I'll get to see him [and his parrot?] this coming Saturday at FMMG. The textures and their shading are where I'm gaining most. Your paint choice details are very helpful. Thanks.

Good I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying it, you seem to be getting a bit more painting time than you thought. Long may it continue.

Hi Kim, Yes Long John Silver will be at the FMMG on Saturday, but sadly Capt, Flint won't be.
I'll be painting him towards the finishing stages.

see you Saturday.

Thanks Simon, I've been lucky to get a fair amount of painting time, although that may change a little before Christmas. More Grandad duty.
The tricky part is up next, the coat. Fingers crossed I don't mess it up.

He is progressing nicely Malc. I think the ink has worked well on the wood, it's an effective technique.

 

[Waterlooman]

Lovely work Malc - he has so much character.

Thanks Nigel, I did a little research on this style of pistol, and used that as a guide.
I had an idea of the finish of what I wanted to achieve, I was surprised when it turned out
exactly that. That doesn't often happen.

Busy morning blocking out the coat, I've used Scale Colour Violet Grey,
It will be toned down and weathered in the next session.
