WIP Verlinden Fighter pilot

[Ron Tamburrini]

A little step away from my usual ancient stuff
This one which was unearthed in a dark corner in the house for some 20 years

Made a start on the painting of the leather jacket .
Usual primers and an Undercoat of Tamya wood deck tan applied with airbrush left to dry overnight
and a top coat of Burnt Umber oils ,same as the boots ,then lifted off with fresh dry brushes to allow the undercoat to shine thru a bit .


Usual probs with camera and uploading pics

The A2 turned out very realistic using that method Ron. It has just the right amount of sheen too . Are you going to paint any 'nose art' on the back? You know, one of those scantily clad dames .

Hope they were the good old make-up brushes you were using to 'lift' off the excess oil paint Ron T

Nice oils work, excellent for the leather jacket, I remember learning to do this from old Verlinden "How to" books years ago, it seems fitting that you use it on one of his figures. Looks good
