A quick picture above, varied lighting causing differing shading appearance left to right...
The flesh was washed with Reikland fleshtone wash
The tunic and puttees and waterbottle, with a 50/50 mix of GW Agrax Earthshade/Vallejo Sepia
The trousers, hat, boots, strapping and rifle with Agrax Earthshade.
The painting guides suggest 2-3 coats of the this for the boots, rifle and strapping , so I'll give those another layer of that at the weekend... busy tonight, another game of Empire of the Dead scheduled with Paul... :-)
Highlights, then to follow to finish off, oh, and hair and mustaches to paint black!
Just heard from Roly, we've got ~130 painters signed up thus far, great to see this level of active involvement in Kiwi painters, and that means less figures having to be painted by each painter, down from 40 to ~30! Must admit that's a bit of a relief!
Spectacular work! They look superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roly :)
DeleteOnce your figs are fully done, I'll post a pic on the official blog, with a link back to your own blog - if that's OK?
ReplyDeleteHopefully after Peter Jackson's posting on the official blog today, we'll have a lot of visitors for future posts: http://anzacdiorama.blogspot.co.nz/2015/02/a-message-from-peter-jackson.html
Excellent work Scott and kudos to the Perry's for doing this project! They are without doubt the most dedicated of chaps in the wargaming industry.
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming!
I literally on the edge of my seat to see the end result!!
Darrell.
