DaveJL Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not much of an update, but the 4 figures i've gone for are built up: Â Â The headdress on the 2 standing figures required some filler. Any tips for painting flesh? Figures have never been my strong point... Â Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive_t Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi Dave, for the figures spray primer is a good start. Games Workshop do a good range of flesh tones. Thereafter try a sepia wash to accentuate the facial contours, then finally a dry brushing of a lighter tone to bring out the high spots. Â Have fun!

clive_t Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 No worries Dave. I was editing my reply when you replied, so I will instead reply to your reply to my reply.... erm... I think! Â I was going to say, another good reason for priming is that it highlights any mould lines and therefore gives you the opportunity to sand or file them down before you start to paint.

Just like a kit then  with regards to primer, to see any imperfections.  I'll paint one at a time and see how it goes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Suds Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm sure it will be. It isn't my next project as I'm busy with a Renault Vivastella which is a Heller kit at the moment. Without rushing you I'm looking forward to the completed project   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Cheers Ian. Shouldn't be too much longer, have one or two things to arrive for the diorama base, so once they are here should be plain sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 More done. Took me a day and a half to do 2 figures (really not my strongpoint  ) but the first 2 are done, and fitted to their vehicles:   Due to the way this figure sat in the jeep, I fitted the MP-40 into his right hand as it was floating in mid air. I also added a small belt of .50 ammunition to the feed tray of the weapon.   Both figures were primed, then painted with Tamiya acrylics, before a mixture of dry brushing, washes and powders were added. A sneak preview of the base:   2 more figures to go!  Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Looking pretty special. Â I see you even have the steering wheels on the right (wrong) side of the truck. Must be tough for those guys to drive the jeep, haha.. Â Take care, Â Lloyd Edited March 30, 2017 by BlackMax12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 That is one heck of a job Dave great detail all around and the base looks brilliant and to scale.  Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
