WIP Young miniatures RAF bomber

[VisjeMar]

Hi all,

Hereby my current project.
It another buste from Young Miniatures which is beautiful sculpted and has an excellent boxart.

I've painted the fase in the base and started the blending. I have a long way to go but here is a first glimp.

I'm very happy with the eyes.

alle painted with Vallejo acryl (various skin tones with some English uniform, Carmine red, violet and olive drab for the tones)

I hope you like it. Constructieve feedback is more than welcome

 

[Steve Brodie]

very, very nice work

Hi Martín

Great to see your benchtime, a good subject choice and a nice start , I like the eye position , the flesh tones work well ...is that a scratch you've painted on the left cheek

Following with interest

Happy benchtime

[Steve Ski]

Excellent start.

 

[MattMcK.]

Looks good. I'm eager to hear your techniques for blending!

 

[Giwe]

Beautiful skintones!

 

[VisjeMar]

Thank you all. A bit back and forward with the skintones. I messed up (his) right side and had to correct it. I tried to blend it with small dots but end up using glazings. Still have some work to do.

I started the wool sweater and the blue cobert.

It is not as fine as I wanted but here it is anyway

 

[VisjeMar]

Well it doesn’t look that bad for a distance

Hi Martín

I like the way the flesh looks .....at any distance ! .....nice highlights

The leather helmet is getting there , sure you will do more , paintings not made easier by its position

Sometimes a piece I do seems to fight me !

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy benchtime

Thank both. I’ve won the fight with this figure and now it’s working along
The helmet is finished and the yellow of the lifejacked went on quickly.
The bomberjack is in a base coat but it gives you an idea how it looks.

Hi Martín

Loving the effects your achieving , helmet looks great , as does the wool pattern on jumper

Be interested how you approach painting the leather, colours you use and techniques etc .......I have a US pilot bust with leather staring at me !

Looking forward to seeing more updates

Happy benchtime

Thanks Nap,
I will make a sbs of the leather but for now the parachute harnas

First a base of light mud and German cam beige

Some shades with the base with the addition of olive drab
Added as a wash and some glazing

The next step is adding some texture with dry mud and stencil (vallejo)
And some red lining in the middle
(The lowest parts)

I painted some parts green for the contrast
And added a very dark pinwash/inline for the details

And the other side washed

And finally more texture and depth with glazing

I finished the other side of the front

Also I have a first coat of the back to give you an idea

 

[Nap]

Hi Martin

Nice result on the front and a good start at the back

Happy benchtime

[Steve Ski]

Colors are looking really good right now, excellent work.

 

[VisjeMar]

Thank

The next SBS is the back.

First the base where we left

Some blending with 1 or 2 tones in between

Some contrast with darker colors and painting the red stripe

Magic by adding texture with lighter colors than the base

More texture

Glasses with some white and gloss

Thanks for watching
