johnny akes Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi folks Really pleased to finally get this one finished, I found it a bit of a slog for some reason and I'm looking forward to a fresh start on something else. I've tried to break up the monotonous dark green camo with a bit of modulation (shading in other words) which might have moved it a bit too far away from an accurate shade, but I think it worked after a fashion - it looks better in the flesh to be honest.

heloman1 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nice one Johnny, I think the shading is just right, shows the worn state of the Merlins. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
